The Takeover — Darren Wearmouth

Thousands of years ago, the world’s population shrunk to a dangerous low …Nobody could say why with total confidence …Until humanity’s greatest enemy resurfaces again to start a deadly colonization.A strange vine is uncovered beneath the remains of a lost civilization. Before anyone can examine the alien plant, pink pollen erupts from its huge buds. Moments later, ninety-nine percent of the archeological team freeze like statues, but only for a minute. They brutally attack anyone unaffected by the phenomenon, dragging victims away for what becomes a chilling evolutionary process beyond anyone’s worst nightmare. As this happens, the pollen drifts toward the wider world.
