It has been fifty years since the first Harvest. Hideous creatures, lethal and lightning-fast, were sown into the beds of Earth's oceans eons ago. Now every year, in service to a mad god, they rise from the depths and hunt humans.
Man hides underground in fear of the Harvesters. But he is also sought by other predators the robots that for years were his companions are now driven to exterminate him in a warped mission of mercy.
In a race against time, a group of humans cross the United States in a desperate plot to destroy the Harvesters before the next cycle. As if psychotic robots, lobotomized cops and flesh-eating nomads weren't enough of a challenge, they may just invoke the wrath of the ancient god itself...
"The illicit love child of Lovecraft and Asimov. Never have my concepts of horror and disturbia been pushed so far. Dunwoody has done it again!"
--Benjamin Rogers, Author of FAITH & THE UNDEAD
"Dunwoody has proven once again why he is the post-apocalyptic master. His plot is tight, the characters are intriguing, and his writing hits the mark every time. THE HARVEST CYCLE will easily be remembered as one of the best books of the year."
--William Todd Rose, author of THE SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY INFECTIVE PEOPLE
"A respectful and unique nod to H.P. Lovecraft told by a young master storyteller. Dunwoody creates a dark apocalyptic future that is equal parts high octane action and violent well timed horror that will draw you in, terrify the hell out of you, and then leave you breathless and wanting more."
--Jonathan Moon, author of HEINOUS
"Dave Dunwoody makes me jealous. He has more clever ideas in one book than most manage in a career. THE HARVEST CYCLE is so full of smart and scary stuff that it leaves you spent and shaken."
--Robert R. Best, author of the MEMORIAL TRILOGY
The Harvest Cycle eBook David Dunwoody
The Harvest Cycle is simply fantastic. It's right up there with The Stand and Swan Song. If you love those kinds of novels (and who doesn't) then you must read The Harvest Cycle. It's apocalyptic (no zombies), otherworldly and filled with the best characters I've come across in a while. It is truly an EPIC piece, loaded with intense, shocking, and unpredictable scenes. Action, cool creatures, flawed heroes and one hell of a nasty villain throughout. Mr. Dunwoody holds NO punches in this one, so prepare yourself. I felt like I was right along with the characters, enjoying every single word on the page, lost in Dunwoody's world until the book ended, and that's what a great piece of fiction should do. I cannot recommend this novel enough.Product details

The Harvest Cycle eBook David Dunwoody Reviews
The Harvest Cycle is an Apocalyptic tale which takes place fifty years since the first harvesters appeared, boiling up from the sea to claim as many human lives as they possibly can for a far distant god who wishes to consume the dreams of mankind. The creatures-fast, silent monsters with claws that can slice through anything, including the skulls of its victims, have come many times since then, driving the remains of humanity into hiding far beneath the surface of the earth. Those that survive have chosen to either surgically remove the part of their brains that the harvesters are compelled to devour, or they decide to remain uncut retaining their ability to think creatively and to dream by those who have lost so much with the mutilation of their brains (and souls as well). In addition to the horrors of the harvesters, humanity must also avoid the `synths' or robots that were once loyal servants to humanity that realized during the first harvest the endless nightmarish hell that awaits those humans in the afterlife whose brains are devoured by harvesters. They are on a mission of mercy to kill all of humanity to save them from this horrible fate.
The story begins when a group of dreamers, led by a hopeful visionary along with a woman who is psychically linked to the nightmare god who created the harvesters and craves humanity's dreams, go on a quest with the hope of somehow destroying the harvesters. Pursued by a police officer named Jack DiVinci, one of the soulless survivors who has a secret that allows him to still be creative and dream, as well as a squad of robots on a search and destroy mission.
David Dunwoody's latest novel mixes elements of Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos, Asimov's robots (with the authors unique twist on the Laws of Robotics...or more specifically, the zeroth law that Asimov added last A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm), and a slight hint of noir with Jack DiVinci, a man who believes what he is doing is saving the human race, despite his own doubts on what it means to be saved.
This is one of the more unique visions of the apocalypse that I've ever read, with plenty of madness and mayhem to go around, plus plenty of gore and a high body count to boot. Dunwoody has this knack for making a story gruesome, horrifying, and yet totally accessible. He has no fear when it comes to pushing the reader's buttons-not just with who he is willing to torture and maim, but with how the universe he creates works. It isn't always pretty, and sometimes it feels like I was being beaten senseless by the brutality of what happens in this tale, but there is beauty here too-hope that humanity can somehow overcome its own vile failings and perhaps persevere against impossible odds.
I haven't been disappointed by anything I've read by David Dunwoody as of yet, and The Harvest Cycle is no exception. This is potent tale that mixes supernatural horror and science fiction with a fluid grace that few authors can pull off with such skill.
Best book I have read in a long time, been a fan of Dunwoody's work but I think he outdid himself this time. Great pacing to the book and exactly what I wanted in this story.
Buy it.
There are monsters, robots, hopeless situations, people being massacred, deeply philosophical moments. Not a happy book. But a really good one.
Holy S***. I want to say a lot about this book, but I don't want to give anything away so that none of the gut-punches are softened in any way. This is a great goddamn read, and deserves some goddamn accolades already. Lewis Carroll plus H.P. Lovecraft plus Isaac Asimov plus H.G. Wells, drenched in blood and s*** and all the nasueous afterbirth of a new Nightmare.
Well done!
David Dunwoody really hit it out of the park on this chilling story of god-like monsters, maniac robots, cannibals and crazies! The book is fast paced and really engages you from the beginning. It is a multi-layered nightmare and a really nicely built world. West World style robots compound the doom and dread of world decimated by creatures who harvest human brain matter to feed to their Lovecraftian overlord. The nod to Dr. Michael West is a nice touch also.
The Harvest Cycle feels a little awkward at times. That's my best description for how I felt. It has a lot of interesting elements in it, but sometimes I felt like they were not tied together that strongly. Despite that feeling, I enjoyed the book far more than I expected, and it kept me engaged. Give it a shot, particularly if you're interested in Mythos type stories.
The Harvest Cycle is simply fantastic. It's right up there with The Stand and Swan Song. If you love those kinds of novels (and who doesn't) then you must read The Harvest Cycle.
