Publisher's Summary

Six months ago, the world watched in horror as we lost an American city.

The Grinder. That's what the survivors of Tucson called the monster. Just one touch, and they became a part of it. It used their bodies as limbs and as weapons. In just a matter of hours, it became huge, a towering monstrosity made entirely out of tens of thousands of people and animals.

This isn't behind-the-scenes bullshit from the point of view of the military. This isn't yet another conspiracy theory about what really happened to Air Force One that night, or about the decision to nuke Tucson.

This is a rare, eyewitness account from someone who was there, in the midst of the destruction. But most importantly, this is the terrifying truth.

The narrator is just not right for this book.

This is not Matt Dinniman's best work by far, but it is not bad. the pacing is rough and the lead up takes a long time. The ending is actually really good but it was a slog to get there. The narrator has a really odd speaking cadence and it made it really hard for me to enjoy it.
