Fluke.. I honestly wasn't sure if I wanted to read this mostly because I wasn't sure what to expect? I've read The fog and The rats and was expecting something horrific. Animal abuse is something I can't read about at all! as I own a dog, and he's my little man and my best friend. But I bit the bullet and I'm so glad I did.

This book is nothing like James Herbets normal style. This book is absolutely wonderful! In this tale we meet fluke! Fluke is a tiny puppy fresh into the world, but he's not like an ordinary puppy he's different. We then follow Fluke on his vast adventures and find out just what fluke is and why he was a puppy, and along the way we meet some really amazing characters as well as some really nutty ones too.

I was expecting a heart breaking Watership down kind of vibe from this book and I wasn't looking forward to it. But instead it was an Inspiring and warming read. There's a big theme in this book and it's about life. I applaud James Herbert for this book, This book is one of the reasons why he deserved that OBE he got. As for a favourite character in this book it had to be Rumbo after Fluke of course. :P

The long-dreaded nuclear conflict. The city torn apart, shattered, its people destroyed or mutilated beyond hope. For just a few, survival is possible only beneath the wrecked streets - if there is time to avoid the slow-descending poisonous ashes. But below, the rats are waiting.

To think this was first Published in 1984! I remembered for some time in the 80s, there was a panic to London and most of England, that England and America was going to go into nuclear war with Russia. James Herbert the English Horror king, he is. Tapped in to this, and the produced domain in all its Apocalyptic Horror!

The rats are back! Big angry frenzied horrible Rats. The cunning critters that can climb up a toilet if they wanted to and bite your bum Ew!!

But this time they are hardcore! they resisted the last attempt to wipe them out by humans, but there back because there world is now fucked, and its up to what is left of good old cockneys to survive not only the fall out but also the Killer Rat's!

True to form Not only has Herbert laid down his third instalment to his "Rats" series, but he blew my mind while doing it. A brilliant final part To the Rats trilogy with tons of settings in London and plots. I'm honestly quite sad it's the end to what was a great trilogy.
