Oh no, Not That!
Hi, Yes it's me, Gary Towner
Welcome to my sanctum sanctorum. Here you will find details on me and all my
literary creations to date. It is my reverent hope that, if I am successful in
intriguing you, enticing you, you will willingly go to the websites I provide
and consider a purchase of one or more of my novel offerings. I wager you’re
here because you crave exciting Horror, Sci-fi, and Adventure escapism reads.
Well, book lover, you’ve come to the right place.
If you like Clive Cussler’s reliance on history with a twist, you’ll love
Pestilence. Learn one possible reason President Nixon ordered a halt to
offensive use of biological and chemical toxic agents, begun during WWII as a
response to reports of massive German agent stockpiles. In a telling addition,
Nixion ordered all future such weapon research and the destruction of all U.S.
stockpiles, as detailed in Executive Order Number 12958. In the conspiracy story
that Pestilence entails you just might find what may have motivated
Nixon to act so decisively.
An Army Colonel defies his orders to vacate an underground research
bunker at the close of World War II, and illegally buries toxic waste in an
isolated farmer’s field outside of a Kansas town called Keyly. Forty-five years
later, a brown odorous slime saturates a farmer’s storage bin filled to the brim
with crops grown from a new experimental seed. It is the beginning of a great tragedy.
Agriculturist Ronald Huntly retires from the Army .
Seeing the need for his agricultural expertise, Huntly decides to try
helping the impoverished Keyly farmers improve their crop yields. Crops that
have been nearly desecrated by huge grasshopper infestations. But, it becmes a
losing battle when contaminated crops cause hoards
of the grasshopper menace to mutate into carnivorous killers.
After Huntly becomes one of first victims of the flying devils, he runs
away. But he knows only too well that one day he must return to Keyly to face
them again in order to warn the townsfolk of the pending disaster. When the
whole town is savagely attacked, the governor requests the US ARMY to intervene.
The sighting of Army troops entering into the fracas is welcomed at first, but
it is soon learned their orders are to eradicate more than mere insects.
Huntly acts on a dangerous plan he has devised to exterminate the flying
scourge, but in the end he finds he must rise above seemingly insurmountable
obstacles, both internal and external, and without the blessings of the locals
that initially resented him, without the compassion of the women he thinks he
loves, and despite the awesome might of the U.S. Government conspiring against him.
