Jerry Griggs, instructor of English at the University of Louisiana at Monroe, recently
published 鈥淭he Terror of the Talpidae鈥濃�攖he first of three novels in the e-book series
鈥淢ole War.鈥�
The science fiction story takes place in New Mexico and Hawaii, but the key moments
within the book take place on the 麻豆果冻传媒 campus. For example, Griggs creates a fictional
secret lab beneath George T. Walker Hall.
In addition, readers can expect to be transported to other parts of Monroe and northeast
Louisiana including Tower Drive, Armand Street, Forsythe Avenue, the Ouachita River
levee, and Interstate 20.
Griggs hopes that local readers recognize some of the places in the story.
鈥淚 wanted to highlight this area and bring a sense of familiarity to the readers,鈥�
he said.
The story is based on the experimental creatures that a scientist activates at a military
base.
The creatures become problematic and the stalker, the main character, along with his
friends, has to stop these creatures to save humanity from possible extinction.
Griggs is fan of the science-fiction genre and plans the next book in the series to
be published by the end of next year.
The e-book is now available for purchase on Amazon.
