Crawlerz: Book 2: Batten Down the Hatches - Paperback

by R. S. Merritt (Author)

Book 2 of the Crawlerz Series by R.S. Merritt

The world didn't end all at once-it was ripped apart, piece by piece.

In the aftermath of a psychic plague that turned millions into savage, infected monsters, three adopted teens-LeBron, Drew, and Yue-aren't just surviving... they're fighting back. The undead aren't brainless. These Crawlerz move in packs, stalk their prey, and seem to learn with every encounter. And now, the danger follows them to sea.

Aboard a war-torn Navy vessel, the teens uncover secrets that could shift the balance in the war against the infected. But survival out here isn't just about avoiding monsters-it's about facing betrayal, uncovering hidden powers, and deciding who you can trust when everyone's got something to lose.

With humanity fracturing and new enemies rising, hope is a weapon-and so is love.

If you loved the found-family bonds and supernatural twists of The Maze Runner by James Dashner, the dark realism and courage in Rot & Ruin by Jonathan Maberry, or the intense action and teen heroism of The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey, Crawlerz: Book 2 will pull you deeper into a world where the living are almost as dangerous as the infected.
