First published as a paperback original in 1988, Stinger remains one of
Robert McCammon's wildest, most compelling creations. Both a furiously
paced action novel and an affectionate tribute to the SF/Horror films of
an earlier era, it is vintage McCammon, and a grand, often visceral
entertainment.
The story takes place during a single twenty-four
hour period in Inferno, Texas. Inferno is a town in trouble, driven to
the brink by racial tension, gang violence, and a collapsing economy.
But things can always get worse, and they do so with astonishing speed
when an unidentified spacecraft crash lands in the desert outside of
town, followed by a second craft bearing the alien being who will soon
be known as Stinger. Stinger is a kind of interstellar hunter on a
mission he intends to complete, whatever the cost. He brings with him an
endless array of technological marvels and an infinite capacity for
destruction that threaten the existence of Inferno, its inhabitants, and
the larger world beyond.
Filled with a large cast of vividly
realized characters and sporting some of the most memorably horrific
imagery you will ever encounter, ''Stinger'' is an adrenaline-fueled
narrative of the highest order, its classic, pulp fictional elements
transformed and elevated by a master storyteller. The result is pure
Robert McCammon, an engrossing, hugely enjoyable experience that is sure
to stay with you for a very long time to come.
