The highly-anticipated sequel to the award-winning novel, The Spread by Lamont R Chatman. Thomas and the remnant of his group have survived hordes of relentless Infected. They have brought down Caleb, his devastating giant plant-like alien Spore, and his Blackout Tower. But what comes now is more than anyone could prepare for: the Acolytes have arrived. A super-powered Usrian warrior alien race that has one goal: finish the planet-ending plot that their exploration counterparts started. The Usrian war consul, Kilian I'Dargone himself, will lead this onslaught. Jacob and his Acolytes, dispatched by Kilian, will test Thomas' new biological enhancements. This battle for Earth's continuance rests on the shoulders of a small group of humans. As hope continues to dwindle, there is no choice but to fight or die in The Spread.
