Jonathan Miles on 'Eradication'

Eradication: A Fable, by Jonathan Miles tells the story of Adi, a man who accepts a job that’s described as a way to save the world. More specifically he’s tasked with saving endangered flora and fauna from an invasive goat population. This is a fable, so at the very least you can expect our main character to experience a moral struggle with his new role. But this is also Jonathan Miles, so you can expect so much more.

Eradication by Jonathan Miles was published by Doubleday.
