Tuskers: Wild Pig Apocalypse

Barry had created a little piece of paradise in his southern Arizona backyard—until the javelinas came. His battle to rid his property of the wild pigs soon escalated into war. Too late, he realized these weren't ordinary animals. They were something new, something meaner and smarter. These pigs weren't just at war with him; they were at war with the human race. AND THE HUMANS WERE LOSING. McGeary says he was inspired by a "nature strikes back" theme. "We keep pushing nature and it's going to backfire on us someday. We are pushing into natural places, and the wildlife is either adapting or dying. My idea [with Tuskers] is that someday they are going to mutate or adapt in a way that is dangerous to humans." Tuskers is the first volume in Duncan McGeary's Wild Pig Apocalypse series.

"PURE PLEASURE. Superintelligent wild pigs on a rampage. The world needed this book."

About the Author

A native Oregonian, Duncan McGeary has lived most of his life in Bend, Oregon, on the dry side of the Cascade Mountains, and his stories are often located in this western terrain. After graduating from the University of Oregon ("Go Ducks!") he returned to his hometown and had his first three fantasy novels published in the early '80s. He bought Pegasus Books in downtown Bend in 1984, got married to Linda, raised two sons, Todd and Toby, and spent the next 30 years running the bookstore, selling books, comics, games, and toys. Now with his store thriving ("if you're ever in Bend, come visit!"), he's devoting his creative energies to writing again.
