Narration To Books Stinger

Easy 5 Stars! “Cody Lockett is a human being. You are human beings. What is the difference?” And there lies the secret to life, right? The only race that truly matters is the human race. So why is it so difficult for us to let go of all the petty bullshit? *** Inferno, Texas, is a dying town. Hell, it's already dead, since the school will be closing permanently after tomorrow's graduation, so what will be left? Will the Rattlers and the Renegades, the two gangs, finally declare a full scale war to see who will keep what little remains? But an alien craft crashes. The government comes, but not fast enough to do anything about the second craft that lands and creates a shield around town. One alien, trapped inside the grid, who calls itself Daufin, must try to hide from the second, Stinger, who will do anything and hurt anyone to find the first... This story takes place in a 24 hour period and who knows how many will survive? *** Okay, a part of me feels so much anger that I didn't know about Robert R. McCammon in the 80's. The quality of his work is so high that it seems like a grave injustice that he was not mentioned with King and Koontz during those years. This is the 5th novel I've read of him during that time period, and the 5th five star rating I've given him. This guy is a legend - I can't fault him for anything so far. When you start this story, you might feel some inspiration from ROMEO AND JULIET - only the good part, though - and then you might think more along the lines of E.T., THE EXTRATERRESTRIAL. And then you will come to a part that will make you wonder if this book was, at least, partly the inspiration for UNDER THE DOME. Hell, you might even see a little of MEN IN BLACK in there... Do yourself a huge favor and read this author!

While reader a paper book I prefer falling asleep while reading with my kindle (voyage had an inbuild light that switches off after a short while so I am reading 2 books.The Dark Son and this one. I have been thinking of picking another ebook to read because the town he sketches, the people that he describes are all so depressing and the story began so slow. Is still slow. However the pace did pick up just a little bit and I will give it another try tonight.I love this author's writing but

I'm pretty sure I read this as a teenager, but if I did, I sure don't remember it, so this book was entirely new to me. And what a great book it was! I'm a HUGE fan of Robert McCammon and have slowly been reading and re-reading all of his books. By doing so I've been treated to to the birth and growth of an incredible author, and a damn fine good time. Stinger has everything a horror fan could want, great characters, a great setting, humor, wit, and downright creepiness. Oh, and nasty monsters,

An alien spaceship crashes near a small Texas border town, its occupant a bounty hunter on the trail of another alien of a different species who has recently escaped from a prison planet. That certainly sounds more like science fiction than horror but the way Robert McCammon unfolds this plot is pure horror. Trust me. The nature of the bounty-hunter alien (nicknamed Stinger) is a scorpion-like, mucus producing, monster with the ability to rapidly replicate allies using spare machine parts and

One sentence review:Masterfully told story which answers the age old question of who would win in a fight between a dolphin and a scorpion.

One of my favourite books ever and a study in how a horror book should be made. Great characters, awesome setting, terror at every corner and excellent writing.

Robert McCammon is quite gifted at taking old ideas and infusing them with new life. He also tends to write like he is writing with the movies in mind. He wrote Stinger like he had a TV movie in mind. The idea of good alien being chased by bad alien while endangering the human race is somewhat of a standard idea. The author does manage to write some excellent action segments and the ending moves like a runaway train ablaze. Yet his characters are cardboard cutouts. McCammon uses every small town
