Hell's Hive: Volume 2 of Hunter's Wheel series

By C.E. Crum

Life was good. Or so they thought.For seven years, Hammer's people in Hollenton have enjoyed peace. The North Road has been open and trade has been re-established with the outer world once again. The village-town has grown in many ways.New people have moved in from other areas, true, but the village-town also boasts the children of Dale and Geribeth, their friends Henry and Nicole, and many others. And yet their favorite is young Alexander Boyle, known to his friends as "Zander," the son of the benevolent giant Hammer and his wife Tanya. Zander has inherited his father's "way" with the wild creatures, and Hammer's ability to read the emotions of those with whom he speaks. Zander and his young friends look forward to a life of peace and plenty in an almost idyllic setting, and there seems to be no reason to think they will do otherwise.For a monster had been removed from a nearby mountain, an alien now believed to be dead and gone. The creature, known as a Crellar, is indeed gone; for the time being. But not only is it not dead, it has discovered what it needs to repair its fighter-ship. Worse, it has found the means to reproduce and four more of its species are rapidly becoming apex predators.Telepathically linked, this Hive-mind from Hell is a deadly hunting unit, and a more deadly fighting force. Their only goal is to repair their ship and return to their home planet, to return to Earth with an irresistible armada to enslave all humans, to hunt them for food and for sport.Moreover, only a week's ride from Hollenton, the wealthy and powerful robber baron Clive Braun has recruited the toughest, most ruthless crew of people he could find to return to Hollenton. He hasn't forgotten the jewelry taken from him by the beautiful Geribeth, and wants it returned to him by any means necessary. This crew has never failed in any job they have ever contracted, and are certain that this will be the easiest and most profitable they've taken on yet.They will do whatever it takes to succeed. And so will the Crellar Hive. So once again, only Hammer and his wife and friends stand between Hollenton and disaster.
