Kristi Wolf was preparing to become a mother. Then the lights came, and something tore her unborn child from her womb. When Kristi awakens, she’s no longer in her world. She’s trapped in a dying future Earth where the human race survived extinction by becoming something else entirely. The creatures humanity once feared as aliens are not visitors from another world. Aliens are us. From the future.
In this future, natural-born humans are hunted, harvested, and experimented on for the genetic purity buried in their DNA. Society has fractured into engineered bloodlines bred for beauty, violence, obedience, and intellect. As civilization rots beneath its polished surface, Kristi joins two other survivors ripped from the twenty-first century. Together they uncover the horrifying truth behind the abductions, the experiments, and the secret feeding on humanity across time itself.
Harvested: Fall of Nature by Michael Lee Anderson and Allison L. Smith was published May 1, 2026, by INOV8R Press (who provided a galley to review).
Right out of the gate, I found this one giving me an unsettling vibe which clearly fits the narrative. I was quickly sucked in and pulled along for this fantastical ride that blends up sci-fi themes and tropes into a captivating concoction.
The authors put a lot of effort into the worldbuilding. They are able to deliver that information in a fairly clean way via dialogue as each of our trio of protagonists explore this strange "new" world and interact with its inhabitants.
