{"product_id":"2940148850847","title":"Petrol Bees","description":"After the United States government eliminates a secret, long-term experimental program, the head of the project, a brilliant scientist who specializes in genetics, releases his creations into the wild, and then commits suicide.\u003cbr\u003eIt takes many months before the public becomes aware of the menace that has been unleashed on a unsuspecting world.\u003cbr\u003eThe creatures are officially known as petrol bees, and were engineered to retrieve petroleum products. Intended as a benign answer to environmental disaster such as oil spills, and the future colonization of other planets. As the released bees grow and multiply, there are savage attacks on people, as well as hive explosions that kill thousands, leveling multiple city blocks in spectacular blasts. The public quickly dubs them “hell hornets,” huge, aggressive insects with an unquenchable thirst for petroleum products.\u003cbr\u003eAs the threat spreads across the nation, and then into other countries, Homeland Security Agent Jim Jones and his lovely young female partner Bonnie Parker are given the unenviable task of tackling the petrol bee problem. Together they lead a nationwide search and destroy effort.\u003cbr\u003eJones finds that some of his greatest challenges during this mammoth pest-control problem come from dealing with the US government—including some of the very people he’s supposed to answer to.\u003cbr\u003eEventually, the eradication effort falls to an unusual private corporation made up of scientists and other individuals.\u003cbr\u003eGordian Genetics Galactic Enterprises sets out to eradicate the petrol bees before they can eradicate the human race. Led by the brilliant scientist’s former assistant, and in the middle of it all, is one anti-social, very confused, dirt poor Idaho Redneck mountain man and his three legged Raccoon sidekick, who live in an abandoned gravel pit, and wonder why the hell the world won't just leave him and his three legged buddy the hell alone.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Brighton Publishing LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47067891532016,"sku":"2940148850847","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148850847_p0.jpg?v=1763708696","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148850847","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
