Conguise Chronicles

The only way to leave Level Five is inside the belly of a beast. McBrid understands the dangers of working on Level Five in Professor Conguise's laboratory. Even the smallest mistake-a miscalculation, a momentary loss of focus or unsatisfactory results-can mean the end. Not the end of a job or a career but the end of his life. The problem is he didn't make a minor mistake. He killed the most important creature in the lab. Now, he must scramble to create a new Aranea. He's done it before and he can do it again. Only this time he must choose the right host because the new giant spider mutation must be smart, fast, deadly and willing to obey-if that's even possible. He'll soon find out if there is anything left of the person once the parasitic DNA takes over and if there's not, he may just end up her dinner. All the books in this series are standalone and may be read in any order.

If you like Twilight Zone and Tales From the Crypt, then you'll love this series. It's dark, disturbing and excellent. Being born on Level Five is even more dangerous than being created there. The society that rose from the destruction of the Great Death is a class system. Almighty’s have absolute control over the other classes. Professor Conguise and his scientists take it to another level, by creating hybrids from the lower classes — creatures that are enhanced with DNA from other species. Glick is one of those creatures except he wasn't modified; he was born that way. He has no idea why everyone wants him and his friends dead, but from the moment he crawled from the earth death surrounded him. His enemies have tried poison, brute force and starvation, but Glick and his friends are determined to survive. They have the will and they have each other. They don't need anything else...except food. They really, really need food, but there's nothing but dead earth in their cage. How will the four friends find food and survive when everything on Level Five is trying to kill them?
