Natural Selection
Professor Noah Little sees humanity as a garden. But as any gardener knows, if you don’t weed it, the harvest will fail. Little predicts that world populations will grow beyond the earth’s ability to support, and the welfare state will bankrupt economies and encourage the proliferation of a defective gene pool that will devolve the human species. In 135 years, civilization will crash and fall into a dark ages if something is not done.

In an effort to avoid the disaster he sees on the horizon, Project: Weed Killer is set into motion by Little to destroy what he classifies as the dregs of society, by contaminating the world’s heroin market with the AIDS virus.

But when two of his brightest students figure out what he is up to, they decide he must be stopped! However, when they realize no one would believe that Nobel Laureate Noah Jonas Little would do such a thing ….they have to decide if the have the guts to become cold blooded murderers.

Meanwhile, Noah Little is tormented by dreams where he is sadistically tortured by a hellish, animated skeleton with a sardonic Freddy Krueger sense of humor.

But ….is the specter of his dreams a result of his guilty conscience… or is it REAL?

About the Author

James Walker is a graphic artist for newspapers and magazines. Also he has had stories published in newspapers and online. Definitely NOT a “one tick pony,” James is a musician and recording artist, playing seven instruments and writing many songs. Also a producer of radio and television commercials.

No stranger to the media, he has been the technical producer and editor for several sports shows that have aired regionally and nationally and does a weekly radio show on WHEE radio in Martinsville, VA.

His stories can be gritty yet thought provoking, ranging from funny to down right scary. His novel, “Natural Selection,” surprised many of his close friends by exposing a dark side that didn’t seem to fit his generally happy-go-lucky personality.

When asked about his quote “dark side,” showing in some of his stories he laughs and says:

“The world is a beautiful place with many beautiful people, but it also can be a harsh and cruel ordeal, populated with villains and monsters. In my stories I paint what I see: basically good people with flaws in their characters, struggling against basically bad people who are from time to time burdened with a conscience. The fact that some of my characters are bad folks doesn’t make me a bad guy, no more than the fact that some of my characters are good folks make me a nice guy. I’m an observer… and my stories are a reflection of what I observe.

I hope that makes me a good storyteller, and the characters that I make up seem real to my readers.”
