Science Fiction meets horror in this genre crossing novel about what happens when two races, one benign, one malignant, arrive on earth together. The Illuminous, a race of telepathic humanoids thousands of years beyond us, decide our planet has evolved sufficiently for them to visit. However, on the way, unbeknownst to the Illuminous, the Mor, a plant-like species, attaches to the Illuminous ship. The Illuminous reveal themselves to humans, but the Mor conceal themselves, secretly inserting their seeds into people who touch them, then killing the host and infecting a blood relative while continuing to sprout and feed off the corpse of the first victim. Using this process, they spread across the world like a plague. Immune to most poisons, temperature extremes, and other means of extermination, they hide within the bodies and behind the faces of friends and loved ones. Although single-minded in their pursuit of continued existence and connected as sort of a hive mind, the Mor are not able to think logically, nor can they work together.
When the Illuminous realize they are responsible for bringing the Mor to this world, they agree to help. Paired with Cleaners (humans who are specially trained and equipped with one prosthetic hand that can destroy the Mor), each Illuminous works to destroy the threat.
Angel and Joshua, an Illuminous and her Cleaner, seek Mor and eliminate them. They have worked together a long time and are one of the closest and most successful units.
Clarice, Cody and Sam are college students working on degrees in botany. They develop a fertilizer that allows plants to thrive anywhere, even in hostile areas such as the desert. When they accidentally expose a Mor seed to their fertilizer, the seed becomes exponentially stronger and communicates the formula to the hive mind, changing them and making them all smarter and better able to plan.
Now the Mor work together, killing off Illuminous/Cleaner pairs and infecting people all over the world. Will Angel and Joshua, Clarice, Cody and Sam be able to save the world, or will the Mor slaughter all humans on the planet? Will the Illuminous continue to help mankind, or will they rescue their own and leave earth to the Mor? And what will be the cost?
Seeds is an action packed read that will pull you along from the first page to the chilling end. If you like sci fi or horror, you should read this book. If you like both genres, you’ll love Seeds.
