Had nature run amuck?

Back cover text

Tall was a hunter-explorer, venturing off the tiny island fortress of his tribe and making his way through wilderness inhabited only by giant insects ten times the size of man. Loosely protected by chitin-armor, and striking with a spear doubly-barbed with spider venom, Tall fought to find a new home for his people.

But as he roamed he became more and more aware that mankind was a stranger in this insect world, that there were no other creatures remotely like men. Then where had his people come from?

As he followed the trail of the almost-mythical Ten who had founded his tribe, Tall found more and more mysteries — and death in more forms than he had ever imagined.

Interior text

Who were the masters of this reversed world?

The insects continued to pour out of the darkness. The two men were trapped — for the cave didn't offer much opportunity of escape.

As the battle raged, Tall could hear his friend struggling behind him, and his heart sank — he knew they could not hold out much longer before sheer weight of numbers carried them under. Individually, the strange, white insects were small, only the size of a man, but their actions marked them as being similar to ants in their behavior; if they were social insects, the men had started a full-scale war that could only end in one way if the insects were victors — horrible death for the two men and their kind.

This is only one of the many, exciting adventures of Tall, the mighty explorer among men, in a world in which man was in constant battle for survival with hordes of enemy giant insects.
