Overview
Both familiar and fantastic, Clark T. CarltonāsĀ Prophets of the Ghost AntsĀ explores a world in which food, weapons, clothing, artāeven religious beliefsāare derived from Humankindās profound intertwining with the insect world.Ā
In a savage landscape where humans have evolved to the size of insects, they cannot hope to dominate. Ceaselessly, humans are stalked by night wasps, lair spiders, and marauder fleas. And just as sinister, men are still men. Corrupt elites ruthlessly enforce a rigid caste system. Duplicitous clergymen and power-mongeringĀ royalty wageĀ pointless wars for their own glory. Fantasies of a better life and a better world serve only to torment those who dare to dream.Ā
One so tormented is a half-breed slave namedĀ Anand, a dung-collector who has known nothing but squalor and abuse.Ā Anand wants to lead his people against a genocidalĀ armyĀ who fight atop fearsome, translucent Ghost Ants.Ā But toĀ his horror, AnandĀ learns this merciless enemy is led by someone from his own family: a religious zealot bent on the conversion of all non-believers . . . or their extermination.
A mix of Adrian TchaikovskyāsĀ Shadow of the Apt,Ā Katherine AddisonāsĀ The Goblin Emperor,Ā and Phillip PullmanāsĀ Golden Compass,Ā this is a powerful new addition to the genre.Ā
