Nathan Brewster, a reporter with an extranormal sense for trouble, plows into the middle of an agricultural feud that turns deadly when biogenetically enhanced insects begin killing people. Nathan takes a dead specimen of one of the insects to the nearby college entomology department, where scientists deduce the creatures are thrips, common yard and garden pests. But these have been altered at the genetic level, giving them the ability to metabolize pesticides and to reproduce at increased rates. Within twenty-four hours, the island must unite to battle the voracious killers.Nathan follows the trail of death and destruction, finding more questions than answers. Can the mutant horde be eradicated without destroying the island? How can the technology be kept out of enemy hands? How many people will die before the terror ends--if it ends? Welcome to the extranormal world of Nathan Brewster.… (more)
