Interpretation In Favor Of Books Stinger

Easy 5 Stars! “Cody Lockett is a human being. You are human beings. What is the difference?” And there lies the secret to life, right? The only race that truly matters is the human race. So why is it so difficult for us to let go of all the petty bullshit? *** Inferno, Texas, is a dying town. Hell, it's already dead, since the school will be closing permanently after tomorrow's graduation, so what will be left? Will the Rattlers and the Renegades, the two gangs, finally declare a full scale war to see who will keep what little remains? But an alien craft crashes. The government comes, but not fast enough to do anything about the second craft that lands and creates a shield around town. One alien, trapped inside the grid, who calls itself Daufin, must try to hide from the second, Stinger, who will do anything and hurt anyone to find the first... This story takes place in a 24 hour period and who knows how many will survive? *** Okay, a part of me feels so much anger that I didn't know about Robert R. McCammon in the 80's. The quality of his work is so high that it seems like a grave injustice that he was not mentioned with King and Koontz during those years. This is the 5th novel I've read of him during that time period, and the 5th five star rating I've given him. This guy is a legend - I can't fault him for anything so far. When you start this story, you might feel some inspiration from ROMEO AND JULIET - only the good part, though - and then you might think more along the lines of E.T., THE EXTRATERRESTRIAL. And then you will come to a part that will make you wonder if this book was, at least, partly the inspiration for UNDER THE DOME. Hell, you might even see a little of MEN IN BLACK in there... Do yourself a huge favor and read this author!

Crit Containing Books Stinger

What can I say? McCammon's got it as usual. It wasn't on the same level as Swan Song, Boy's Life, or Usher's Passing, but it was still a solid five star read. Excellent B-Movie style sci-fi horror premise that went on to a fun story with some heart.

4 StarsWhat a blast, that was! It was like a B-Movie on acid. Much better than Invasion of the Killer Tomatoes. It had all the elements: Fat, loser sheriff; goody-two shoes family, crotchety old rich lady; town drunkard, racial tension, bullied-by-everyone-town-nerd, and gangs. Oh, and did I mention the gloriously, disgusting monster who also happens to be a "bounty hunter!??" It doesn't get any better than this. I really had no expectations of greatness, but this was a great horror story, and

I'm pretty sure I read this as a teenager, but if I did, I sure don't remember it, so this book was entirely new to me. And what a great book it was! I'm a HUGE fan of Robert McCammon and have slowly been reading and re-reading all of his books. By doing so I've been treated to to the birth and growth of an incredible author, and a damn fine good time. Stinger has everything a horror fan could want, great characters, a great setting, humor, wit, and downright creepiness. Oh, and nasty monsters,

Robert McCammon is quite gifted at taking old ideas and infusing them with new life. He also tends to write like he is writing with the movies in mind. He wrote Stinger like he had a TV movie in mind. The idea of good alien being chased by bad alien while endangering the human race is somewhat of a standard idea. The author does manage to write some excellent action segments and the ending moves like a runaway train ablaze. Yet his characters are cardboard cutouts. McCammon uses every small town

First published back in 1988, Robert McCammons sci-fi horror novel Stinger followed on from the successful novels They thirst! and Swan Song. Already with quite a well respected name for himself within the horror world, McCammons Stinger was a widely anticipated release for this author.Set in the not too distant future within a dusty Texas town named Inferno, the books starts off setting the scene in this scorching hot dying town. Work is hard to come by and life is hard for the residence of
