Product Description
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.

A worthy sequel!, July 21 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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.

A fun read., Jan 16 2009
By Lesley Conner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Clickers II: The Next Wave (Paperback)
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.

Here they come again!, April 20 2012
By Frank R. Errington "Heavy reader" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Clickers II: The Next Wave (Paperback)
Many times sequels don't measure up to the original, sometimes it's best to leave a successful book stand alone. I'm so glad that this is not the case here. Clickers, originally published in 1998, was such a fun read I never expected the follow-up to be as good, but honestly it was even more entertaining than the first installment.This time, JF Gonzalez teamed up with the legendary Briane Keene. A match made in Horror Heaven or would it be more appropriate to say Horror Hell? The two writers compliment one another extremely well, bringing back those crab-lobster-scorpion things known as Clickers and their scaly conterparts, The Dark Ones. The Clickers are bigger and The Dark Ones are smarter. It's a number of years later and amidst another Category 5 Hurricane the action begins and the attack is fast, furious and much broader than before.
Colonel Augustus Livingston, retired, is called back to active duty. He was in Phillipsport, Me to lead the clean-up after the original invasion some years ago. I genuinely liked this character, he's fed up with bureaucracy, as many of us are, and gets to speak his mind and take action. Rick Sychek, who also survived the original attack (and has been living under an assumed identity ever since) is also back and brought into the middle of things despite his desire to be as far away fron the invasion as possible. The president of the U.S. is key to this story and I won't say more, because I don't want to spoil it for you. But, he's certainly memorable.
Clickers II: The Next Wave won't disappoint. It was just plain fun to read. I would certainly recommend you read Clickers first and there at 2 more books in the series. There are no cliff-hangers per se, so far the two stories compliment one another very well.
