Spider World: The Tower – Colin Wilson

The First Volume in the Spider World Saga

Eight legs good, two legs bad…

Under the bleak 25^th Century desert, Niall and his family eke out a meagre existence, hidden from the predatory eyes of the giant spiders that float silently overhead in their silken death balloons.

For Niall has committed the ultimate crime – he has killed a Death Spider, and now it seems only a matter of time before the invincible spiders take their revenge.

However, Niall has one advantage of which the spiders are unaware – he shares their gift of telepathy. And when his family is captured, he turns his mind to the task of liberating humanity from the Spider Lord…

Spider World: The Tower is the first volume of Colin Wilson’s brilliantly imagined saga of life under genocidal spider domination – and of one human’s desperate battle to save the remnants of his people.
