Oh, the 'Exterminator!' series! It’s one of those hidden gems that hits you with its raw energy. After the first book, the sequels take the story in a direction I didn’t see coming—aliens and existential crises? Sign me up. 'Exterminator! 2' introduces this kid from space, and suddenly, our protagonist’s bug problem feels almost quaint. The tone shifts a bit, but it’s still packed with that signature bleak humor.
What’s cool is how the author plays with scale. One moment you’re squashing roaches, the next you’re grappling with
interstellar conspiracies. It’s chaotic, but it works. The third book wraps things up (sort of), leaving enough ambiguity to keep you thinking. If you’re into stories that don’t spoon-feed answers, this trilogy’s worth your time.
