Now, with the numbers and the old hunger for human flesh returning, the war is about to begin again. Where they have been breeding and building back their confidence. As it is discovered that the surviving rats of the London incident left the city and made Epping Forest their home. What seems like a straight-forward investigation turns into something far bigger. Signs that the mutant black rats may not be completely eradicated. Pender is sent to investigate some odd events occurring in and around Epping Forest. Here though, he takes a much minor role and instead the lead is given to a man called Lucas Pender. Who many may remember as the star of the first book. One such pest control company stands atop the rest called Ratkill, run by Stephen Howard. Although believed to have been destroyed, no chances are taken and pest-control companies work alongside the government to investigate any potential sightings or problems. It has been a couple of years since the chaos that was caused by the outbreak of mutant rats. Whereas The Rats was set amongst the streets of London, Lair moves the action to a more tranquil location – Epping Forest. The second book in James Herbert’s ‘Rats’ series of stories, Lair was released in 1979.
