'Why are humans afraid of spiders? With a multi-stranded narrative that traps you as effectively as a silken web, Skitter makes the answer all too clear' DAILY MAIL In the thrilling, nerve-wracking finale of Ezekiel Boone's terrifying Hatching series, the United States goes to war against the queen spiders that threaten to overtake the human race forever. The world is on the brink of apocalypse. Zero Day has come. The only thing more terrifying than millions of spiders is the realization that those spiders work as one. But among the government, there is dissent: do we try to kill all of the spiders, or do we gamble on Professor Guyer's theory that we need to kill only the queens? For President Stephanie Pilgrim, it's an easy answer. She's gone as far as she can-more than two dozen American cities hit with tactical nukes, the country torn asunder - and the only answer is to believe in Professor Guyer. Unfortunately, Ben Broussard and the military men who follow him don't agree, and Pilgrim, Guyer, and the loyal members of the government have to flee, leaving the question: what can be more dangerous, the spiders or ourselves? 'Following directly on the heels of SKITTER (2017), Boone brings his excellent spider-apocalypse thriller to an exciting conclusion . . . The entire series is one to hand to fans of all high-action thrillers, especially for those with a speculative frame by Mira Grant, Jonathan Maberry, and Ben H. Winters. In a landscape where the adventure thriller seems to be dragging, it is clear all we needed were some spiders to revive it' (Booklist (starred review)) 'Big-screen-ready, rip-roaring action' (Publishers Weekly)

I was hoping for this series to improve, but sadly it didn't. Zero Day contained all the frustrations that I had with Skitter. More of the author's rambling writing about his plethora of trite, hard to care about characters and ridiculously anticlimactic encounters in almost every case with the spiders. More inaccuracies about spiders right off the bat with a bunch of talk about lifespans that was pretty off. I struggled to keep pushing through this series, and the only reason I gave it a two was for the somewhat exciting encounters with the queens at the end. Then you get led in to an epilogue that seemed to exist only to give a happily-ever-after to all of this mostly meaningless characters. I honestly just shut off the audiobook at this point as I'd decided it wasn't worth the extra thirty minutes.
