Botanica: A Novel

When a brilliant researcher is accidentally zapped with plant DNA during a routine laboratory test, he gains an extraordinary—and terrifying—new ability: he can communicate with plants. At first, the experience feels like a scientific breakthrough beyond anything he ever imagined. But the excitement quickly fades when he discovers the truth behind the connection. The plants are not only aware—they are furious.

From forests to fields to city parks, the natural world has been silently observing the corporations and industries responsible for environmental abuse. Now, with a human conduit to channel their anger, the plants begin fighting back. What starts as subtle warnings soon erupts into unsolved murders of corporate heads deemed responsible for the environment-threatening situation.

Fast-paced, imaginative, and chillingly plausible, BOTANICA is a gripping eco-thriller that blends science fiction, environmental suspense, and moral complexity. Perfect for fans of Michael Crichton and speculative thrillers that make you rethink the natural world around you.
