If you like GNS Crabs books, you're going to love Funnelweb! ;D
Unknown Binding: 339 pages
Author: Robert Ryan
Publisher: Pan Macmillan Australia (1997)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0732908884
ISBN-13: 978-0732908881
Available from Amazon and used online bookshops.
This is the best pulp sci-fi/horror novel I've read in a long time!
Mutated, giant spiders running amok and ravaging over the Australian countryside.
Great escapist entertainment.
Plenty of action and adventure mixed with plenty of suspenseful moments and horrific descriptions of both spider and human behavior.
Most people really have no idea how quickly normal society is capable of breaking down and anarchy ensures.
The general estimate is about six to ten days, should petrol or food supplies fail to reach the majority of a city's population.
The author has actually put quite a bit of research into his story.
I really enjoyed it. So much that it only took me two nights to read the entire novel.
I can't believe that Mr. Ryan hasn't written a sequel or graced us with a list of other similar stories.
In an age that is sadly lacking the all out action/adventure pulp genre tales that a lot of us grew up reading, Funnelweb stands out as something special.
Good onya Richard!
