Seeds
A William Horner Conflict
by
Allan V. Cotter
UNITED NATIONS DETECTIVE WILLIAM HORNER and his partner, Dr. Arthur Bradbury, are sent on a mission to an Antarctic research base with only the most mysterious of briefs: “SEEDS.” Also travelling to meet the bizarre cast of cabin-fevered superscientists is billionaire agriculturalist Jim Mountcrest, a man with single-minded determination, unlimited resources, and questionable morals and motivations. Horner, Bradbury, and Mountcrest arrive at a base paralyzed by the possibilities presented by an incredible scientific discovery, one that has the potential to be an untold benefit or an untold danger to humanity. And then people start dying. And the seeds disappear. Horner and Bradbury are stuck with the impossible task of finding the seeds and the killer – or killers – before they disappear forever, in a place where even the janitors keep deadly secrets, and everything, even the earth itself, seems to want them dead. Seeds is a mysterious, tense, and claustrophobic thriller set in one of the world’s most intriguing and dangerous locations. It’s the third book in the exciting William Horner Conflicts series.
ALLAN V. COTTER has worked as a special effects technician for thirty-eight years and as a fire fighter for thirty-two. He has worked on very large movies and been in very large fires, and has so far survived both despite numerous encounters. Before those twin careers, he worked in demolitions and civil works. In his spare time, he is a classical stone carver, often depicting science or science-fiction themes, and blending classical and modern artistic expressions. He also loves reading about politics and the intrinsic farce of it all. Cotter has taken his technical knowledge, love of spectacle, and interest in international intrigue, and turned them towards telling exciting, explosive stories which address the complex and often ironic machinations of our world governments. Allan lives in Port Hope, Ontario, Canada, with his wife of 37 years. Seeds is Allan V. Cotter’s third novel, and the third WILLIAM HORNER novel, following the exciting debut Sleight of Light and sequel The Humit.
