Paperback. They didn't invade our world. They grew up in it. Working the overnight shift at the Haven Ridge 911 dispatch center, Caleb Mercer knows that real panic has a rhythm. He is used to the nightly chaos of domestic disputes, car accidents, and medical crises. But just past two in the morning, the calls begin to warp. A woman whispers that her husband has been standing motionless in the dark kitchen for twenty minutes. A terrified nine-year-old barricaded in a bathroom reports that his father's fingers are opening beneath the door-splitting into smaller, jointed claws. By morning, the city is quietly coming undone. By nightfall, the dispatch board explodes. Across Haven Ridge, thousands of attacks ignite simultaneously. But there are no forced entries, shattered windows, or foreign armies. The violence begins strictly from within: spouses turning on partners, doctors turning on patients, children turning on parents. The people with keys, alarm codes, and familiar faces are shedding their human anatomy. Terrified for his wife, Caleb abandons his console and races across a dying city to reach home. There, waiting in the warm light of their kitchen, stands Hannah-the woman he has shared a bed with for six years. She still wears her wedding ring, but her hands are no longer human, and she carries no malice, only the cold, methodical curiosity of an observer whose work is finally finished. Because humanity was never an enemy to be conquered. We were a classroom. Told with relentless pacing and clinical dread, Field Study is a chilling speculative thriller that subverts the alien invasion genre into a quiet, devastating nightmare about intimacy, survival, and the horror of discovering that the people we love were only taking notes. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
