by Steve Zettler
Steve Zettler’s forthcoming thriller. TICK... TICK... TICK (Vine Leaves Press, March 25, 2025) packs a fast and furious punch! Brisk-paced action, dynamite plot and lightning quick dialogue.
Harian Stone is a federal agent tasked with finding out why bulls everywhere seem to be firing blanks. The assignment seems odd, until the underlying concept rockets into view: that bad actors have triggered a bovine Armageddon to drastically reduce methane gas in the atmosphere. And after tanking the world beef market and causing panic around the world, what’s next?
Harian’s only lead is a beautiful, very strange woman with a hard-to-place accent who talks about the “Males” and “Females” who’ve made various decisions, some of which she doesn’t agree with. Are the one’s pulling the strings eco-terrorists? A rogue nation? Will the planet survive the catastrophe set in motion?
Thrillers are best when questions about what’s next fly at the reader, and this book really tick-tick-ticks toward an explosive end.
