| Summary: | "Once every year, Scoutmaster Tim Riggs leads a troop of boys into the Canadian wilderness for a weekend camping trip -- a tradition as comforting and reliable as a good ghost story around a roaring bonfire. . . . But for some reason, he can't shake the feeling that something strange is in the air this year. Something waiting in the darkness. Something wicked . . . . It comes to them in the night. An unexpected intruder, strumbling upon their campsite like a wild animal. He is shockinglyi thin, disturbingly pale, and voraciously hungry -- a man in unspeakable torment who exposes Tim and the boys to something far more frightening than any ghost story. Within his body is a bioengineered nightmare, a horror that spreads faster than fear. One by one,t he boys will do things no person could ever imagine. And so it begins. An agonizing weekend in the wilderness. A harrowing struggle for survival. No possible escape from the elements, the infected . . or one another." |
