Synopses & Reviews
It's a wild downward SPIRAL and everything's spinning out of control in the fifth title in the New York Times Bestselling TUNNELS series!
Just when you thought it couldn't get any deeper, darker, or weirder...
The Styx have surfaced. Dormant underground for more than a century, the evil, imperious race have crept out into the open through cracks in the earth. And they're infesting England like a plague of black-clad cockroaches, prepared at last to expose a skin-crawling secret. A secret that's got Will Burrows completely bugging out!
Strapped into steel-toe boots and armed to the teeth with the ammo of a motley crew of weary renegades and cynical ex-soldiers, can he - blam blam splat! - squash the threat?
Review
They got CLOSER!
"Fans are going to have a hard time putting it down. There is a lot of action; lively dialogue; diabolical villains and feisty teens; clever cat-like companion hunters; things that blow up; torture and mind-manipulation; family and friends in danger; and trust and betrayal. A great science-fiction adventure series for boys, and girls will enjoy it as well." -- VOYA*
"Gordon and Williams move plotlines around like two generals directing a simulated battle. The authors have created quite a world." -- Booklist

Synopsis
Spinning out of control!
Just when you thought it couldn't get any deeper, darker, or weirder...
Creeping into the open through cracks in the earth, the Styx have surfaced, and are now infesting England like some parasitic scourge -- carriers of a bizarre black secret that will place every last Topsoiler in mortal peril.
Unless Will Burrows puts a stop to the propagation.
Armed to the teeth, with little more than a motley crew of former commandos as reinforcements, can Will, Chester, and Elliott find a way to squash the threat? Or will they only find themselves in a deadly downward SPIRAL?
