Hovering in Earth's atmosphere, they release a biblical stream of pods that transform into minivan-size, people-eating, flying lizardy things that look like mythological griffins. Destroying communications, emergency, and military infrastructure, they systematically kill everyone on the planet. Well, almost everyone.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eA pesky trio of New Yorkers isn't about to roll out the red carpet-or roll over and die-for these unwelcome intergalactic marauders. Unlikely heroes Mo, a snarky, Gothy game-goddess; Steve, a skateboard-punk schwag whore; and Curt, the obligatory buff commando expert in weaponry (and a genius with cosmetics), are going to take it to the aliens-and Florida is where the fight is. Armed with M-16s, a BFG (big f**king gun), and a surplus of guts, they'll battle their way from the Big Apple to Orlando, where a downed spacecraft is the most awesome new attraction.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnd in the Sunshine State another pair of courageous (and pretty damn lucky) humans who have outwitted the toothy berlizards await: Liz, a babelicious killer whale trainer at Ocean World, and Oscar, a chain-smoking middle-aged professional squirrel (seriously-he's paid to wear that squirrel costume).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOnce united, the intrepid warriors will attempt to infiltrate the alien spacecraft, defeat the spacer invaders, and save (what's left) of the world-and, if Steve plays his cards right, begin the fun of repopulating Earth all over again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Morrow \u0026 Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42817445920848,"sku":"9780061977527B","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780061977527-l.jpg?v=1785864915","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/products\/the-griff-9780061977527b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
