The Queen-Killer of Maple Street: A John Smith Exterminator Novel

John Smith kills wasps for a living.Not dramatically. Not heroically. Mostly while sweating through protective gear, apologizing to insects, and hoping his van survives another week.Then his eleven-year-old niece makes a school video calling him the Queen-Killer of Maple Street.Unfortunately, aliens see it.To the producers of The Greatest Hunt, John is not a tired Canadian pest-control technician with a bad knee and unpaid bills. He is a legendary human exterminator. A nest-infiltration specialist. A poison-bearing defender of Earth. Possibly a minor god of duct tape.John is abducted, thrown into a galaxy-wide death game, and expected to face the universe's most terrifying hunters with nothing but a sprayer, a flashlight, a van full of questionable supplies, and a growing suspicion that everyone has made a huge mistake.He is not brave.He is not trained.He is absolutely not the right John Smith.But when the monsters start acting like infestations, when the arena has vents, crawlspaces, nests, and maintenance access, John discovers that ordinary skills can look a lot like survival.Especially when the whole galaxy is watching.The Queen-Killer of Maple Street is a funny, fast-paced science-fiction adventure about alien reality TV, accidental heroism, household hazards, and one exhausted exterminator who would very much like everyone to stop making him legendary.
