Fight or flight? That has always been an interesting concept to me, and this book shows it as well. When something bad begins to happen to all of mankind, do you run and hide or do you fight? When the chances are slim, like the survivors in this story, sometimes it is just better to barricade yourself in a safe place.
"Breeding Ground" is the story of how an invasive species of spider somehow uses the human womb to create new members of its race. There is no background of how it happened as quickly as it does and throughout much of the book the survivors in the small group are continually learning new things about these creatures. Will they survive against these human eating spiders, or will they all parish?
Besides this general overview, the author is British, and so the book is very British. Wordings and locations all take place around England, with a mention of Scotland a few times. I think after reading this book I need to revamp my knowledge of Great Britain geography to gain a better understanding of distances and metropolitan centers.
