When CIA Special Operations officer Major Jim Carter is sent to the town of Serene, Texas, he's still grieving for Agent Cathy Abbey, who was not only a fellow agent—but the woman he loved.

And the woman he chose to shoot rather than let Al-Shabaab insurgents abduct her. A decision that haunts him.

When Carter arrives in Serene, it's to discover that all one hundred and twenty-one citizens of the town have been murdered by insectoid creatures assumed to be extraterrestrials.

None of the authorities know how the aliens arrived on Earth or what their intentions are. But one thing is for sure… They're hungry. And they like meat.

During the initial investigation, Carter meets army officer and entomologist Anne Blake, who dissects one of the aliens. That's the beginning of a relationship that will be severely tested as Blake strives to learn everything there is to know about the Prax, the extraterrestrials strive to kill her, and Carter battles to keep the scientist alive.

Millions die, governments fall, and the future of the human race is on the line.

New York Times bestselling author William C. Dietz returns to his military science fiction roots with Crickets.

No clue how I ended up adding this book to my library and actually listening to it given the Science Fiction genre categorization. SF and Romance are typically a hard No for me. So, like the famous TV artist Bob Ross, I’ll chalk it up to a “happy accident”. The performance is off the charts spectacular and the writing is fast paced and gripping with just enough Cringe to keep a person’s ears peeled. Granted there were a few points where the author presented too much / not useful information and others in which some backstory was in order to connect with a character’s motivation however these are but minor blips on the radar. I only mention to keep from going on about how much I loved every cricket infested bit of this story. More bugs please.

Narrator did a good job reading the book. Bro had a booming voice and did a good job giving characters their own voice.

I didn't like this book and didnt finish it. I think it wasn't the best writing and the story (for me) was just not that interesting.

Not my cup of tea
