What readers say about the book🧐
This is a well written storyline. It reads as a crime novel more than a sci-fi story. It starts a bit slowly but as the pages go by, the intensity of the investigation and victims of these hornets ramps up exponentially. Yes, these are the recently documented Murder Hornets, only these are mutated in both size and venom toxicity due to exposure to chemical contaminants. The race to locate and eradicate the multiplying nests of these hornets, in an all-out attempt to save lives, falls on the shoulders of two state entomologists. These characters, as well as others, are nicely developed and draws the reader into their mission. There’s action, suspense, dread, horror and some gruesome descriptions. In the end, humanity wins this time but what might be next.

About the Author
Kenneth Passan
I have been a writer since 2003, although my full time job was nursing, as an RN. Before earning my master’s degree in forensic science, my writing began for Forensic Nurse magazine. I had several articles published. Later, when the magazine folded, I combined much of those articles and with months of additional information and much editing, I made those into my first book; a nonfiction called Forensics and the Violent Criminal Mind. My second book which would be my final nonfiction is Monsters Among Us: Man’s Inhumanity to Man. Later I got into writing thriller novels which includes the paranormal horror, crime stories, and any other stories I could come up with that are exciting and would make the reader anxious to keep reading and reading. As a former avid reader myself, I have been there and love books to read that I hate to put down.
Those are my current details. My past includes: Being in the US Coast Guard for 14 years and serving in Vietnam, working at the FBI in Washington DC as a fingerprint examiner, later a deputy sheriff and correctional officer in Maryland and then a CO in CT. In 1990, I entered the nursing field as a registered nurse, served in numerous specialties-mostly psychiatric and then forensic nursing. I am now retired, working part time only voluntarily, and use much of my free time to write and promote my books. I have considerable public speaking experience and teaching experience in addition to the above.
