Product Description

Product Description

What if the genetically modified crops that we increasingly depend on for food weren’t really created by man? And what if they had a far more sinister purpose?

If you’ve enjoyed stories by James Rollins, Michael Crichton, Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child, get ready to strap yourself in for a roller coaster ride of terror as you learn that you truly are what you eat…

At a genetics lab where a revolutionary strain of wonder food crops is being developed, FBI Special Agent Jack Dawson’s best friend and fellow agent, Sheldon Crane, is brutally murdered. The killer was looking for very special seeds that Jack’s friend had taken from the lab, and tore his body apart trying to find them…

Jack is convinced that Naomi Perrault, the beautiful geneticist who leads a group of suspected eco-terrorists, is behind the murder. But when FBI agents who aren’t quite who they claim to be show up on Jack’s doorstep after a bomb devastates the FBI lab in Quantico, destroying the evidence from his friend’s murder, Naomi becomes Jack’s only hope of survival.

Framed for murder and confronted by the terrifying truth of what the genetically engineered seeds stolen by his friend are truly for, Jack joins Naomi in a desperate battle across half the globe to save humanity from extermination…

Engaging Read 15 April 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
Season of the Harvest had an odd combination of writing styles but it worked. It was as if a sci-fi fantasy author wrote a thriller, which is kind of what happened. The description he used throughout is similar to what you can find in his In Her Name series, but on a toned down level, more fitting for a thriller.

The story follows Jack Dawson, an FBI agent investigating the mysterious and gruesome death of his friend and co-worker. He and his friends, new and old, take on corporations, outlandish groups, and other countries to fight against a nightmarish truth, the end of the world could be closer than they realized. Plot twists and turns leave the reader not knowing which character to love, which one to hate, or even which one to trust.

Very fast paced with engaging characters. Character development was wonderful. From one moment to the next, I couldn't tell what the characters were going to do, yet when they did something out of the ordinary, it was within the character's personality to do so.

The only issue I had was at one point during the middle, the writing felt bogged down by description. While description is something I love, especially with the amount of epic fantasy I read, I could have drawn a map of the building the characters were in. While not necessarily a bad thing, it was the only place in the book where I felt removed from the story.

It was a great read and I would recommend it to any lover of thrillers, especially with how the content relates to goings on in modern day humanity.

I lost interest in sci-fi around forty years ago. The shelves were filling with science-fantasy novels, but nevertheless categorised as sci-fi (I still haven't seen Star Wars and I still don't want to).

Michael Hicks has renewed my interest with this book. There's rather a lot of action, blood and emotion in it, and you can hear the strains of "The Star-spangled Banner" throughout, but there's enough science to hold it all together. And it has a happy ending....or does it?

I'm off to inspect Mr Hick's other books.
