Description

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. Read more

  • Fun, quick read, and hopefully there will be more...
Format: Kindle
This isn't a lengthy epic with massive world-building in the narrative, but rather it's an easy-to-read & easy-to-digest romp through through a fun and satisfying military/adventure alien-invasion story. Don't go into it expecting a deeply involved tale like The Expanse by J. Corey, or Odyssey One by E. Currie. Accept it for what it is: fun, light, adventure scifi, and you should have a great time. I'm really glad I picked this one up on a whim from Kindle Unlimited, and personally, I'm crossing my fingers that it does well enough that the author writes a sequel or two. ... show more

  • Decent book - beware stupid politics
Format: Kindle
Enjoyed the Crickets as bad guys but the inclusion of such much recent US government and social upheaval as a story line was a lame and stupid idea. Would prefer smaller, less important characters in the heat of the invasion. This story was largely centered on government officials. Boring. Where's the everyday men and women trying to survive? Try that next book. ... show more

  • Alien bugs
Format: Kindle
I liked this book and found it to be fairly fast paced and entertaining. My only criticism is there should have been every crop duster on the planet spraying insecticide and napalm beind used... often.

  • Dietz does it again!
Format: Kindle
Been reading Dietz a long time. He has never failed to deliver. Bought “Crickets” yesterday on Kindle and finished it today. Top notch alien invasion / military sci-fi. In a field that—to me—offers very little that is new or interesting Dietz does it again. I am hooked and can’t wait for the sequel.
