On the surface, you couldn’t ask for a more ordinary Midwestern life. Corn farms, pickup trucks, and the girl next door. But scratch the surface on Booker’s world and it has all the trappings of a B-grade horror film—complete with bullies, mutants, and mad science.

A love letter to 1980’s popcorn action movies, BOY MEETS ANT, and the entire SYNTROPY series, will appeal to nerds of all ages. And anyone who has ever heard of E.O. Wilson.

★★★★★ This book has it all - Lots of action, terrific dialogue, plausible science, an engaging plot, and, best of all, characters you really care about (even the ones who aren't entirely human)... Nurse Kirby
