The Hatching Books in Order

Deadly incidents in Peru, Minneapolis, India, and China reveal a shared threat as an ancient species of flesh-eating spiders awakens. Scientists and officials struggle to understand the outbreak while a mysterious egg reaches a Washington laboratory.

Survivors hope the devastating spider outbreak is slowing, but an enormous egg sac in Japan suggests another phase is beginning. Scientists, survivalists, and officials confront expanding threats as desperate measures fracture communities already struggling to stay alive.

As coordinated spider swarms threaten humanity, Professor Guyer argues that killing their queens could end the crisis. President Pilgrim backs her theory, but opposition within the government and military forces another struggle over how to save the surviving population.
