Killer Crabs

Killer Crabs is the second book in Guy N. Smith’s iconic pulp horror Crabs series. In 1976, biologist Professor Davenport had led the British military in defeating monstrous crabs off the Welsh coast of Britain, saving the rest of humanity from a deadly fate. Or so he hoped. Four years later, in 1980, trawling Norwegian fishermen discover a giant crab in their catch. The crustacean makes a light snack of a crew member before disappearing back into the murky waters and the captain’s intended warning never reaches the authorities. A powerful crab colony moves on undetected, in search of its next feast. 8,000 miles away, fishermen are vanishing off the coast of Queensland, Australia. Mackay locals suspect foul play by rival fishing gangs until residents at the exclusive holiday resort of Hayman Island also find themselves on the crabs’ menu. Can the Government, with Davenport's help, seek out and destroy the monsters’ underwater hideout before the next full moon? Or will there be another banquet of death?
