Set a few years after the events of Lair, the threat of nuclear war is all too real, and after a series of deadly bombs go off in London, destruction and panic then set in as one would expect. I absolutely loved The Rats and aside from the ending of Lair I loved that book too, so was wondering how things would unravel in this affair. James Herberts third book in the Rats saga, after The Rats and Lair, and how would Domain measure up to those two aforementioned books. His novels THE FOG, THE DARK, and THE SURVIVOR have been hailed as classics of the genre. His bestsellers, THE MAGIC COTTAGE, HAUNTED, SEPULCHRE, and CREED, enhanced his reputation as a writer of depth and originality. He relentlessly draws the reader through the story's ultimate revelation - one that will stay to chill the mind long after the book has been laid aside. With a skillful blend of horror and thriller fiction, he explored the shaded territories of evil, evoking a sense of brooding menace and rising tension. Widely imitated and hugely influential, his 19 novels have sold more than 42 million copies worldwide.Īs an author he produced some of the most powerful horror fiction of the past decade.

He was one of our greatest popular novelists, whose books are sold in thirty-three other languages, including Russian and Chinese.

James Herbert was Britain's number one bestselling writer (a position he held ever since publication of his first novel) and one of the world's top writers of thriller/horror fiction.
