Eco-Thriller 'PEST' Sparks Urgency and Intrigue in the Battle Against Environmental Collapse

Author G. Spencer Myers Returns with a Chilling Tale of Nature's Revenge

DURHAM, NC, UNITED STATES, July 11, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In PEST, bestselling author G. Spencer Myers offers readers a tense and timely eco-thriller that dives deep into the growing environmental crises few dare to confront. In it he crafts a story that feels not just plausible but imminent. As part of the gripping Dr. Derk Bryan series, PEST blends fast-paced suspense with a chilling look at how far institutions will go to bury the truth—especially when nature itself begins to expose it.

PEST is a satirical, fast-paced ecological thriller set in the mid-1990s, moving from the sun-soaked Florida Keys and Tampa Bay’s industrial ports to the dense forests of Michigan.

Derk Bryan, a tough EPA investigator, is pulled from a fishing trip by a sudden, grim feeling about his estranged, dying father. At the same time, a small chemical spill in Michigan unravels into a far-reaching plot to poison America’s food and water supply. As Derk digs deeper, he realizes the two crises are connected — and both could destroy not just the planet’s water, but everything and everyone he holds dear.

Battling painful family secrets and a tangled love life, Derk faces off against Jack Von Lleuwan, a ruthless manufacturer racing to push through a new pesticide called PESTfree. Marketed as a "green" solution to global pollution, PESTfree hides a deadly flaw. As bodies pile up, Derk must outrun powerful enemies and his own past to stop a disaster that could poison the world.

“The engaging narrative of Pest contains much to think about regarding toxicology, environmental awareness, and the balance of nature. . . Pest leaves one wondering how closely the story resembles a true one.” — Rachel Elaine, Author of Thoughts for Thought.

While deeply rooted in real-world science and environmental policy, the novel never loses its pulse-pounding edge. Think Erin Brockovich with Elmore Leonard characters and Carl Hiaasen humor. It’s ideal for fans of Michael Crichton, Richard Powers, or anyone who enjoys suspense grounded in present-day stakes. And though part of a series, PEST stands on its own, offering new readers a perfect entry point into the world of Dr. Derk Bryan, the Indiana.

PEST is now available in paperback, hardcover, and e-book formats from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and independent booksellers.
