A relentless alien bounty hunter encloses a Texas town under a dome to isolate, hunt, and kill its prey in "the ultimate horror novel" ( The Philadelphia Inquirer ). Ever since the copper mine closed, the West Texas desert hellholes of Inferno and Bordertown have been slowly dying. Snake River isn't the only thing that divides them. Racism, gang wars, and anti-Mexican sentiment have turned the sun-scorched flatlands into a powder keg. If anything can unite them for now, at least in awe and wonder, it's the UFO that comes soaring out of the clouds like a flaming locomotive. In the wake of the crash, a young alien named Daufin has arrived, too. A fugitive who has taken the form of a human, she knows the terror that awaits the inhabitants of this planet - because it is looking for her. When Stinger, the monstrous alien bounty hunter, arrives, it's with a destructive fury and a devious plan to find Daufin - by entombing the residents in an impenetrable and inescapable dome. A relentless killing machine, Stinger has an infinite capacity for death and destruction. And over the next twenty-four hours, this town is going to bleed and burn. Now, the few remaining survivors must come together to protect Daufin, themselves, and the world beyond from total annihilation. From the New York Times best-selling and Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Swan Song , Stinger was called "one of the best suspense novels of recent years" by the Science Fiction Chronicle .

This one was pretty weird, but what do you expect with aliens? An interesting diversity of characters in a small town and how they deal with extraordinary circumstances. Kept interest and had a lot of surprises.

Great SciFi and Horror Mix
Stinger is about a small town in the American Southwest stuck in the desert with nothing to do until the day Dauphin arrives from beyond the stars. Dauphin is running from a race of creations that have enslaved her race and are harvesting her world. She inhabits the body of a little girl and is cute and precocious. Unfortunately the being chasing her isn't quite as accomodating. He is Stinger a bounty hunter sent to get Dauphin back no matter what and he will kill, maim, and destroy anything that gets in his way. He takes town people and transforms them into his drones to do his bidding. The survivors not only have to decide if they can stop Stinger but even if they should. A page turner and one of McCammon's best works.
