Arthur Herzog si è distinto per i suoi romanzi di fantascienza e i suoi scritti sui crimini reali. Le sue opere spesso approfondiscono complessi problemi sociali e la psicologia umana, immergendo i lettori in narrazioni avvincenti con sfumature più profonde. Lo stile di Herzog è noto per la sua accessibilità e la sua capacità di esplorare temi impegnativi in modo coinvolgente. Il suo contributo letterario risiede in una fusione unica di narrativa di genere con un esame critico dei fenomeni sociali e istituzionali.
Orca--the killer whale--is one of the most intelligent creatures in the universe. He hunts in packs, like a wolf. Incredibly, he is the only animal other than man who kills for revenge.He has one mate, and if she is harmed by man, he will hunt down that person with a relentless, terrible vengeance--across seas, across time, across all obstacles.
This gripping and chilling narrative revolves around the struggle between Africanized killer bees and American military microbiologists employing genetic manipulation techniques. The bees, known for their industriousness and heightened aggression compared to domestic honeybees, are exceptional honey producers. An American farmer smuggles a few colonies into the United States, and under the influence of a favorable climate, the bees proliferate. It takes time for health authorities to uncover the patterns and connections amid the increasingly frequent fatal stings. Time is a crucial factor in the American author's segmented narrative, and by mid-summer, New York is overrun with swarms of these wild bees, causing people to hesitate even to look out their windows.
