THE BROOD WILL TAKE YOU BEYOND FEAR,
BEYOND TERROR,
BEYOND THE BOUNDARIES OF THE MIND.

MORE FRIGHTENING THAN THE UNKNOWN...
SOMETHING YOU CAN'T CONTROL

Man had landed on the planet before: a fruitless, expensive fiasco of an expedition. Then, fifty years later a smaller but disastrous landing had left two men horribly and unexplainedly dead.
Now a third attempt had so far found nothing but a silent, lifeless world. Until they broke open the underground chamber and discovered in the most vile way imaginable that the planet was not quite dead. That a sleeping life had been waiting for millennia, needing only a chance to breed before escaping to spread like a foul, devouring disease into the lifeblood of the universe.
And to breed it needed the bodies of those who had disturbed it.
