Who could imagine...waking naked on a beach with 12,000 other
people and no memory of how you got there...
Enter THE SWARM, which hit No. 10 of the TOP 100 bestselling NOOK Book in one
week, by a young writer being touted as "the next Stephen King".
At the peak of summer season, the people of Bay Isle, New Jersey suddenly
and inexplicably become part of a swarm and head mindlessly towards the beach.
They have become puppets to an unseen phenomenon with one purpose: to reproduce.
On the beach, the 12,000 people of Bay Isle take part in a massive copulation
event. Meanwhile, a few people on Bay Isle people who are physically infertile
or unable to reproduce are left to watch the event in stark terror and fear. As
the act comes to an end, the people begin to become awake from their trance with
no memory of what happened.
The government orders the island blocked off. People are prevented from leaving
or entering. Tensions grow as it becomes apparent that there are not enough
emergency contraception kits on the island. The government profiles the
island, inventorying all the residents and vacationers. The women are given free
abortion pills and pregnancy test kits. Brochures on grief, rape trauma and
STDs are provided. Meanwhile, weeks pass and thousands of women test positive
on the government-provided test kits. Many take the provided abortion pills,
though there are some who choose Pro-Life. As the Swarm pregnancies gestate,
and with no apparent cause of The Swarm uncovered, superstitions grow¦and
spread. Attacks on women pregnant from The Swarm spread across Bay Isle, which
is now engulfed in chaos. A video leaked to the internet called Women Pregnant
from Swarm shows a woman in stark confusion, walking into walls and trying to
press herself through them.
And secreted away in an attic, one deranged man believes his wife has become
pregnant with Jesus Christ in the Second Coming. In the close dark, the woman
feels the movement. She sees the pink iridescent lights cycling in her womb.
From her breasts leaks colostrum that is horrific: brilliant, glow-in-the-dark,
alien.
This single woman holds the secret of The Swarm within her womb¦and the fate of
Bay Isle.
In a work of staggering originality and terror, young author Rob Heinze pulls no
punches and propels the story forward to a vibrant and stark conclusion. Fans of
M. Night Shyamalan, Stephen King, Dean Koontz, and Peter Straub rejoice...a new
story-weaver has arrived with an imagination that will leave you stunned¦and
afraid.
