Author Alan Dean Foster is equally adept at world building science fiction, like his Humanx Commonwealth novels, or small personal near future tales. INTERLOPERS fits into that later category.
Archeologist Coschocton "Cody" Westcott discovers, along with his future wife Kelli Alwydd, discover hidden chambers below the temple they are excavating filled with all sorts of carving and symbols on the walls. They photograph all of it for later research, both making careers out of it.
Later, married and teacing in Arizona, Cody deciphers one set of symbols for some sort of formula. A chemist friend helps him mix it up and Cody samples it.
A whole new word opens up for him. And not a nice one.
He can see Those Who Abide, the Interlopers, who live in natural objects: trees, rock, and such, until a human touches them, invading the body. He witnesses a girl vomit, a man turn violent and kick his dog, two women crash their bikes together just to warn him off.
Only he can see them and does wha he can to prevent them infecting people. But he must do more.
What are they? There must be others that know of them. How can they be stopped?
Foster has a style that pulls one into the story and won't let go.
