A series of gruesome attacks have been sweeping New York City - three men are found dead, their bodies nearly dissolved from the inside out. The culprit is a super-colony of ants: An army of one trillion soldiers with razor sharp claws and stinging venom. The desperate mayor turns to the greatest ant expert in the world, Paul O'Keefe, a Pulitzer Prize-winning scientist in an Armani suit. Paul is baffled by the insects and recruits the one person who can help, his ex-wife Kendra Hart. When the ants launch an all-out attack, Paul and Kendra hit the dangerous, panic-stricken streets of New York, searching for a coveted queen. It's a race to unlock the secrets of this terrible new species, before the President nukes Manhattan. A thriller with the highest stakes and the most fascinating science, this debut is not to be missed.

Read it tonight and I guarantee, you'll be canceling tomorrow's picnic. --Shane Gericke, national bestselling author of Torn Apart <p> You'll think twice about squashing ants after you read The Colony . The novel is fun, scary, and unsettling. Creepy in the best sense of the word. --Mark Alpert, author of Final Theory <p> The Colony presents a horrific scenario that crosses compelling science with a real-world household enemy.
