When a small meteorite lands on earth, something attaches itself to a tick—when that tick bites a human who in turns longs to bite others, it sets in motion a growing hivemind attempting to fight off the worst impulses of humanity in a tale that explores sex, gender, racism, violence, forgiveness and accountability.

Author · 17 books
Sylvain Neuvel dropped out of high school at age 15. Along the way, he has been a journalist, worked in soil decontamination, sold ice cream in California, and peddled furniture across Canada. He received a Ph.D. in linguistics from the University of Chicago. He taught linguistics in India, and worked as a software engineer in Montreal. He is also a certified translator, though he wishes he were an astronaut. He likes to tinker, dabbles in robotics and is somewhat obsessed with Halloween. He absolutely loves toys; his girlfriend would have him believe that he has too many, so he writes about aliens and giant robots as a blatant excuse to build action figures (for his son, of course).
