Synopsis
A special fortieth anniversary edition of The Rats, the classic, bestselling horror novel that launched James Herbert's career.

For millions of years man and rats had been natural enemies. But now for the first time – suddenly, shockingly, horribly – the balance of power had shifted . . .
Continue the chilling series from the Master of Horror, with Lair and Domain.
