Book One in Herbert's classic "rats" series.

The terror begins. London is struck by an invasion. Women, children, old and young, none are safe from the deadly menace. The attacks are swift and sure, escape is impossible. A state of emergency is declared. Evacuation seems the only solution in the face of a growing panic and mounting death toll. War is declared on the public enemy number one. The Rats!

James Herbert was one of Britain's greatest popular novelists and our #1 best-selling writer of chiller fiction. Widely imitated and hugely influential, he wrote 23 novels which have collectively sold over 54 million copies worldwide and been translated into 34 languages.

Born in London in the forties, James Herbert was art director of an advertising agency before turning to writing fiction in 1975. His first novel, The Rats, was an instant bestseller and is now recognised as a classic of popular contemporary fiction.

Herbert went on to publish a new top ten best-seller every year until 1988. He wrote six more bestselling novels in the 1990s and three more since: Once, Nobody True and The Secret of Crickley Hall.

Herbert died in March 2013 at the age of 69.

Opis od Audible

Veteran actor David Rintoul delivers a superb performance of best-selling British author James Herbert’s The Rats, the first book in the classic The Rats series. His rich voice and charismatic delivery heighten the exciting nature of this audiobook. London comes under attack and a state of emergency is declared. The problem? Rats. Swift, terrifying rodents wreaking havoc in the big city. No one is safe. As the death toll rises, it appears that evacuation may be the only option left - that or war.

Opinie krytyków

“Herbert was by no means literary, but his work had a raw urgency. His best novels, The Rats and The Fog, had the effect of Mike Tyson in his championship days: no finesse, all crude power. Those books were best sellers because many readers (including me) were too horrified to put them down.” (Stephen King)
"There are few things I would like to do less than lie under a cloudy night sky while someone read aloud the more vivid passages of Moon. In the thriller genre, do recommendations come any higher?" (Andrew Postman, The New York Times Book Review)
"Herbert goes out in a blaze of glory" ( Daily Mail)

This book is one of the better creature feature horror books of its particular time. Even in the early works by the author, i can appreciate his craftsmanship and his prose.

The narrator did a fantastic job. I definitely will check out more of his Narration’s

Classic creature feature

Entgegen meiner germanophonen Spracherziehung konnte ich die Geschichte sowie den Sprecher in vollen Zügen genießen. James Herbert weiß ein recht simples Szenario in einen erschreckend real wirkenden Albtraum zu verwandeln. Noch grausiger als die Angriffe der Ratten selbst sind die unheimlichen Minuten/Sekunden vor der Katastrophe. Die Nagetiere sind in ihrer Handlungsweise dermaßen unvorhersehbar, dennoch nicht weniger artgemäß, dass jede (neue) Begegnung mit ihnen einen ungeheueren Spannungsbogen erzeugt. Das Gemetzel, das sie verursachen, ist entsetzlich, übersteigt aber nie den realistischen Rahmen. Mein kürzlicher Albtraum, in dem ich von einer Ratte verfolgt wurde, sollte als klare Lektüreempfehlung ausreichen.

Greta story all in all but really didn’t like how he portrayed that one woman’s desire for an orgasm as some evil that ripped her apart, led to madness and ruin all round her. Ugh, icky icky
