Experimental Field 312 is a light look at the serious subject of GMO’s. It’s a fun read with plenty of family warmth, action and suspense. Gets you to think beyond today’s headlines about GMO’s and the effects they may have in the future. Experimental Field 312 would make a great animated Sci-Fi movie.
P.S. You will never look at an ear of corn the same way again.

One of the funniest books I have read about GMO food. Contains action, suspense, and a lot of rib hurting laughter.

Experimental Field 312 is a surprisingly good update on the stories that were made into those ‘funny-scarry’ classic movies of the fifties and sixties. It manages to be both hugely entertaining and informative, combining light-hearted laughs with important info about the dangers of genetically modified food. It’s old-fashioned in that it treasures the virtues of family and friendships, but it shows these values in an honest and modern small-town setting. (Remember how the the introduction to family life in Spielberg’s “ET” struck a true chord?) But I don’t want to sound too wordy in praising a book that is such a fun, fun read.

A family fights for survival in this outlandish story about corn coming to life to terrorize a small American town.
In the summer of 2009, everything seems normal in Lloydsville, Pa. In the shadow of Three Mile Island is a crop of freshly planted, genetically modified corn. Susan, a nurse at the local hospital, has gathered her family and the friends of her teenage children to watch a rainstorm. Little do they know that massive lightning strikes into the GM corn can bring the crop to life. The vicious corn monsters attack people with their long claws and huge teeth, and the wounds they inflict cause deadly infections. The town falls under attack as millions of creatures form ranks to take down the humans.
A quick, quirky sci-fi story
