Book Description

Publication Date: February 14, 2011

The first wave was just the beginning . . . The United States is in ruins. It has just suffered one of the worst hurricanes in history, the people are demoralized, and the president is a religious fanatic. Then things get really bad - the Clickers return. Thousands of the monsters swarm across the entire nation and march inland, slaughtering anyone and anything they come across. But this time the Clickers aren't blindly rushing onto land - they are being led by an intelligence older than civilization itself. A force that wants to take dry land away from the mammals. Those left alive soon realize that they must do everything and anything they can to protect humanity - no matter the cost. This isn't war, this is extermination.

This is an excellent follow up to Clickers. The action picks right up on page 1 and does not stop until the last words. Even after you are done you want more.
I do not want to give any surprises away. I personally enjoyed this story much more than Clickers. The scope of the book is just huge. The story and characters all go to the next level or dare I say.....The Next Wave.
Read and Enjoy!!!!

Just finished Clickers II: The Next Wave and I was very impressed with the story all-around. I feel its strength lies in the B-story of the book. A religious president slowly being claimed by insanity, seems like a tactic that King would use.

Summary: So it is about a decade later after the events of Phillipsport, ME. We learn about the government doing its best to cover up the incident through various newspaper clippings. Then we are thrust to present day where a large hurricane is baffling meteorologists with its trajectory. Then the Clickers strike. Following the rules of a sequel, the Clickers are bigger, badder, and more pissed off. They strike at various points of the Eastern Seaboard. We meet the White House Cabinet and President Tyler. Tyler sees this as his opportunity to set the country onto the path of being Saved. The Clickers raise hell and are followed by The Dark Ones who are seeking revenge for being hunted by the military back in Phillipsport. Amongst the war breaking out is Colonel Livingston. He quickly takes control of the battle and he soon finds himself fighting a two-sided war. On one side are the deadly Clickers and the Dark Ones, but also a civil war between the followers of President Tyler.

This book is very character driven. The favorite of mine is President Tyler. He becomes unpredictable in his stead-fast plan to Save the country. The reader quickly grows to hate him and hence why I love him. His character evokes the most emotion out of all of the cast. Rick Sychek returns with his woeful tale of living underground from threat of government assassination. We learn that things did not turn out all that great for the survivors of Phillipsport. There are other characters that I enjoyed. Colonel Livingston started to become too cliched for my taste. Either way this is a great sequel and I cannot wait for Clickers III to be made available onto Kindle.

The best news of all is that Clickers vs. Zombies is currently in the works by both of the great authors.

This is a wonderful sequel to Clickers by JF Gonzalez and Mark Williams. It is over the top, terrifying death and destruction, and hilarious in an 80s, B movie kind of way. The most horrifying part was definitely the president, because people like him could come into power in our country. Now that is what nightmares are made of. JF Gonzalez and Brian Keene are an unstoppable force within the horror genre, and I can't wait for the third installment of Clickers.
