This is the second book by this author being promoted by Pump Up Your Book and featured here on Miki's Hope. I think I might have to read these-IN THE DAYTIME!! Long Island is a bit too close to where I live as the Circada's fly!!


About the Book: (from Amazon)


Seth is laid off from work. His wife Lara just found out they are expecting a baby this summer. Seth plans on documenting the entire pregnancy with his brand new digital camcorder.

During an evening home watching television, the news reports that a swarm of cicada (Brood Ten) are expected to overwhelm the entire Northeast.

Brood Ten is vicious and ready to invade.

During a sweltering summer night, Brood Ten emerges and wreaks havoc with the electric grid, phone and cell service, wi-fi, food and water supply. Civilization as they know it is gone.

Seth and Lara are thrown back to the stone age in their own home with trillions of cicada trying to deposit their eggs and breed.

Fast paced and filled with tension, Brood Ten is the perfect summer read when you’re sitting outside listening to the cicadas sing.


This book can be purchased at Amazon

I would run and scream and hide until someone told me the coast was clear! A swarm of 15-20 cicadas surrounded me this past summer when I had just gotten out of my grandmother's swimming pool and I screamed and stood completely still...they flew away within a few seconds but it was really really freaky!!!

Unknown said...

Sounds so scary! Bugs (especially lots of bugs) freak me out!

Interesting plot of the story, especially when the characters are turned to Stone Age living conditions and how they managed to survive, or what happened at the end, just curious.

Not Everyones Mama said...

um... after I finished running around in circles, flapping my arms, and screaming like a girl? I don't know. Find a tunnel and live under ground? I would die. I totally would.

Sarah Bailey said...

I would like to think I would do something good like run but in reality I would probably sit on the floor crying and rocking back and forth..

Healy Harpster said...

Wow, this must be a good read. Wonder how the couple survive.

I would grab a big can of Raid and apply all of the zombie rules Ive learned.

Unknown said...

i would run, run, run, and pray

Tara said...

I have a very irrational fear of bugs. If I ever had a swarm attack, I would most likely pass out. As is my heart races and I start gagging if a bug lands on me. I know it is completely irrational, but I can't help it.

sohamolina said...

run far far away.

sablelexi said...

I'd love to think that I would do something smart, but more than likely I would freak out and then try and hide...or just cower right there, hoping to outlast them.

Stacey Smith said...

I hate bugs.don't no what kind that is but everybody else say run to water so if I was out side I would run to water but if I was in side I would find every way I could to block them from coming in to the house.

Grab my husband survival gear, find someone with an air tight bomb shelter and hide. Great idea in theory, though I'm not sure why they would let us in.

Nancy said...

I'd go inside, slam the door, grab a can of Rain and a flyswatter!
