Nikki Haase Author Interview

In Experiment X: Exposed Dr. Thaddeus unveils his plan to create an army of super-humans and the masses rejoice. This seems like an easy reference to many terrible things throughout history. What was your inspiration for this moment?

For this moment, I was inspired by how easily influenced masses of people are, and how quickly they can become terrified of something that probably isn’t true. We are told that we have these enemies when we’re just the least bit scared of something so that we have a finger to point at someone, even if that enemy is false. Too many people believe their ‘leaders’ when they tell them who to blame and that they need protection from something that likely doesn’t even exist.

I find that authors sometimes ask questions and have their characters answer them. What were some questions you asked yourself while creating your characters?

A big one that I had asked myself and my characters is actually addressed in the very beginning of the book, ‘who are you?’. Generally, people ask only about your job and/or school as if that’s all we are. But, it’s not. Shed away the layers that are on the surface of yourself and find out what’s left. What can you survive? Who do you love? Who would you die/kill for?

What can readers expect in book three in the Experiment X series, Experiment X: Revolt?

Readers can definitely expect some more bloodshed, war in both the Lab and on the streets, revenge, friends and allies in unlikely places, redemption, new abilities/powers, and some gruesome satisfaction.

They were dead!

I watched one of them die!

Doctor James Thaddeus just presented them as Captains on live TV. Right after he informed a brainwashed world that he was accepting volunteers to expand his super soldier army.
It’s been nearly a year since I helped release imprisoned Subjects from the Lab and the last thing I want is to see is that horrid ‘Doctor’ create more human weapons to treat like rats.

Shawn and I need answers to what we are if we’re going to attack the facility again and stop Thaddeus.

Although it would be easier if Lab-loyal Subjects didn’t capture us, dragging us back to the Lab like criminals.

We’ll just have to take them down from the inside this time.

We can’t let Thaddeus win.

He’ll kill us.
