The Seeds of War

The Complete Trilogy

By: Lawrence M. Schoen, Jonathan P. Brazee

Narrated by: Sean Runnette

"Invasion!"

Retired (and exiled) Marine Lieutenant General Colby Edison’s farm is overrun by a horde of alien plants, leafy gremlin-like creatures that begin systematically destroying first his crops and then his home. And not just his farm, but all the surrounding farms as well. The relentless plants have apparently killed his neighbors, and clearly, he and his dog Duke are next. But as a retired Marine, Colby has resources and skills not shared by other farmers on the newly terraformed agricultural world of Vasquez and soon he is bringing the fight to the invaders.

Except...who is really invading whom? High in orbit above Vasquez, a sentient vegetable studies the planet it had seeded and sculpted centuries before, laying it out as world-sized garden. Now, returning to inspect the progress of its work, it finds its art has been tainted by the intrusion of crop grids, farm buildings, and people, all of which must be purged if the garden is to endure.

When two species clash, only one will survive.

Former psychology professor Lawrence M. Schoen and retired Marine Colonel Jonathan P. Brazee join forces in the Seeds of War trilogy, pitting Marine against Gardener, with the fate of all of humanity hanging in the balance.

The Seeds of War: The Complete Trilogy contains Invasion (book 1), Scorched Earth (book 2), and Bitter Harvest (book 3).

Surprise

This was a surprise story. Very different sci-fi. Never heard of this type of alien, which made the story very entertaining.

Very Different

I enjoyed the different take and situations the hero found himself in.
Well worth it. Thanks

I tried

Tried to get into the story- just couldn’t. Also wasn’t a huge fan of the narration.

Different

A totally different idea. Sentient plants with eternal time to plow the universe. Set against man for survival.

good story. great narration

good story overall. Sean runnette is an amazing performer. was a little weird listening to him narrate something besides a mark tufo book. been through so many that I associate the voice with Mike talbot. ha ha. but great performance. and I liked the story too. not a masterpiece but entertaining and lively.
