In the spring of 1989, a disgraced entomologist accepts a research position in China. Under the scrutiny of his new comrades, he battles a dangerous local wasp, but in the process, he engineers an even deadlier species that gains sentience and bonds with his disabled son.
Good luck to everyone who’s doing Nano!

This sounds like an intriguing project, Priscilla. All the best for the month.

Good luck Priscilla. I wouldn’t be able to touch that project. (The first time I had an anaphylactic reaction to a bee sting, I was many miles away from medical help. I’m more than a little scared of them.) I’m sure it will be a wonderful, exciting story, coming from you. Hugs.

This sounds creepy and terrifying. I’m not too keen on ordinary wasps, never mind genetically engineered ones! Wishing you a productive November!

What an intriguing premise! I got stung by a wasp on my writing hand once and couldn’t use it for a week due to the swelling. I’ve steered clear of them since. Nasty little blighters! I look forward to hearing about your progress. Best of luck with NaNoWriMo! 🙂
