The Coming Harvest

Something the size of a car has just fallen from space and wrecked the farmhouse.
It’s one of millions of objects falling across the globe. Nothing comes out of it – it just sits there in a puddle of goo – and then it starts growing.

Erin Kirby finds herself on the front line of a strange, slow invasion. As she continues to manage the family farm, it becomes clear that unseen aliens have made their own claim on the land: they’ve planted the Earth with giant seeds.

And as the alien life-forms change, the world’s reaction to them threatens to tear the family apart. Should Erin side with the cult-like Hand of Gaia, who want to destroy the invasive megaphytes, or with those who think that that would be a very bad idea? In the end, she might not have a choice: an alien intelligence seems to have its own plans for her.

Above everything hangs a single question: if an alien species sent these seeds to Earth, what happens when they’re ready to be harvested?

THE COMING HARVEST is a contemporary Sci-Fi set on a Lincolnshire farm as alien pods fall across the world. A mix between John Wyndham’s Day of the Triffids, Nevil Shute’s On The Beach, with just a hint of The Archers.
