Next a child and her beloved dog, then six drifters fighting over a bottle of gin - all devoured by a black, writhing mass of giant rats. As London descends into panicked chaos, high school teacher Harris is pulled head-first into the nightmare when a student arrives with a rat bite on his hand. And he quickly realises that this is no ordinary creature, nothing like anyone has ever seen before. With their intelligent, wicked-looking eyes and razor-sharp teeth, the balance of power between man and rat has suddenly - shockingly, horribly - shifted. The rats have had their first taste of human blood. And they're hungry for more . . . \u003cb\u003e‘Lean, mean, and nasty as punk, \u003ci\u003eThe Rats\u003c\/i\u003e are here!
