Publisher’s description

An underground nuclear test in New Mexico sends shock waves as far as Nevada, disrupting warrens occupied by swarms of vampire bats. The panic-stricken animals take to the air and descend atop Hoover Dam and the Las Vegas Strip, resulting in a man being found dead in an alley outside of a Vegas casino.
