39-year-old local American man Nidus Nash has awoken with the power to control insects. An ex-trucker displaced by A.I. and reeling from a personal tragedy, he decides to take a road trip across Route 66. On his wayward tour of America, Nidus gathers confrontations and atrocities and some new friends along the way.
Special Agent Evelyn Waters is a paranormal expert and the FBI's best bet for the investigation into the Bugman Nidus Nash. Her team aims to get a read on Nidus' powers and box him in for capture. However, a mysterious entity within the U.S. government restricts the investigation and alters the strategic board with secret agents of their own. Evelyn must use every tactic available to understand Nidus and figure out what he truly wants before things escalate out of anyone's control.
Online blogger Anita Ramirez is fifteen years old and starting out her summer vacation. She lives in Lake Placid, New York and her parents love her very much. Mom is on book tour and dad is baking cookies; Anita's good grades have earned her a summer of leisurely gardening. Anita secretly conspires with the realm of fungi, her very soul psychically connected to America's mushroom networks. Soon Anita starts to detect the rise of Nidus' swarms in the southwest - and suffers from apocalyptic dreams of a world returned to nature.
Wherever He May Swarm is a horror x action x thriller x satire novel dealing with the prospect of the Holocene Extinction touching down on insects humanity next. Follow Nidus Nash on a road trip across an alternate future America, where the insects are striking back against the empire.
Wherever He May Swarm features a fast-paced blend of action, suspense, insectile ultraviolence, and a satirical take on conspiracy culture, the American empire, and Mankind's endless battle versus Mother Nature. The story explores themes of postmodern individualism, government control, technological surveillance, and the natural world destruction & mass insect death of the ongoing Holocene Extinction.
I am very much inspired equally by Stephen King and Clive Barker in terms of character-based horror odysseys, as well as David Cronenberg and Paul Verhoeven regarding the potential black comedy of otherworldly transformations and imperial hyper-violence.
