I haven’t read the book actually. I grabbed this from the plot summary:
“ The "Bug War" has changed from minor incidents to a full-scale war during Rico's training. An Arachnid attack that annihilates the city of Buenos Aires alerts civilians to the situation; Rico's mother is killed in the attack.”
I’ll read it but right now I remain suspicious
