A giant spider-like alien sophisticated enough to enjoy playing chess with a captive human even though he doesn't win.

Hungry enough to nibble on a young girl, freshly caught while on a school hiking trip.

Intelligent enough to defend his mate, Ma Re, with laser weapons as she lays her eggs in beautiful Lehman Caves.

Sadistic enough to order his ComOfficer, Gar, to create a nighttime diversion with a captive 10 year old human by climbing a Ferris wheel backlit by colorful hot air balloons; stashing the child in a web Gar's spun through the spokes while the aliens escape.

Food Chain is a fast moving, roller-coaster ride of alien horror with strong human heroes. They're determined to stop the alien spiders from bringing news of salvation to their over-populated and starving home world; that a source of plentiful food — all of us! — has been found here on Earth.

It's up to our three human heroes, Drew, Morgan and Donica, to save mankind from the most grisly of deaths ... being eaten alive by giant spiders.
