The source of the takeover began in the center of the country. Sam again figures that it's his duty to take on a mission into Kansas. When he arrives, he notices that the population of slugs have increased drastically. They haven't just attached to the important people they need to control, they've attached to everyone they can reach. I wasn't quite sure what happened next, but I believe a majority of the Old Man and Sam's time was used up trying to get the president not to send out all forces to defeat the slugs. Because the slugs are able to multiply they easily took the military. I didn't like this plan from the start. I knew it would be a failure and would have benefited the President to listen to the agents. Considering before when he hadn't listened to them and they were right, he should have listened to them now.
This next part is one of my more favored parts. Mary and Sam fall in love and get married. They've decided it was time to leave and moved into the Adirondack Mountains. The book says that they live a generally happy life with a pet cat. Over time the slugs spread and reach them, though they are isolated. First, a slug attaches to their cat, then to Mary. Sam has to thing quickly to figure out how to save her. He pushed her into a fire which leaved them with horrible burns but, his plan does rescue Mary.
