Summary: Keep you on the "crapper" book
Review: I rate the quality of books on a sliding scale (no pun intended as you read further). The longer I sit in my "office chair" and read without getting up, the quality of the book increases. As I sat down for my morning constitution since picking up a copy of Michael McBride's Species, every morning after finishing significant chunks (please don't read between the lines and no splashing noises please - I just ate), my legs had fallen asleep and I had a bad case of NBS (numb butt syndrome).

This book is so good that one morning I was almost late for work because I couldn't put the dang thing down. This end-of-the-world novel is on par with Stephen King's The Stand and Robert McCammon's Swan Song -- it is that good!

Buy it now. Oh and Mike has more good stuff in his brain and in print soon (The Legacy - order it signed over at www.shocklines.com).

Take care,
Troy

Summary: One of the scariest books I have ever read
Review: I will start by saying that this book truly creeped me out. It had me hooked from the first page. Michael Mcbride knows how to write horror. I still cant believe how good this book really was. I read a lot of horror novels but very rarely do I ever get the creeps. Species gave them to me from start to finish.

The story is original and the characters are as well developed as any story as I have ever read. The suspense was the best part though. It was unbelievable. It will grab you by your throat and wont let go.

The only complaint I had was that is was to short, and it left you hanging, but I recently found out that it is going to be part of a trilogy. I cant wait for the next installment.

To whoever is reading this; if you like horror or sci-fi novels don't waste anymore time. BUY THIS BOOK NOW. I can promise you that you will not be sorry.

Mr. Mcbride you got me hooked and wanting more.
