PAGE, Thomas (Walker IV)
(1942-)
   US writer whose first novel was The Hepahaestus Plague (1973), filmed as BUG (1975), a tale which starts strongly, with vivid descriptions of the effect of an irruption from underground of a new species of beetle capable of emitting fire, but which weakens when it begins to deal with a SCIENTIST who becomes overfascinated with these beetles, which seem to possess a kind of group intelligence. His later novels - The Spirit (1977), Sigmet Active (1978) and The Man who Would not Die (1981) - were borderline sf.
