Fantasy
Both familiar and fantastic, Clark T. Carlton’s Prophets
of the Ghost Ants explores a world in which food,
weapons, clothing, art—even religious beliefs—are derived
from Humankind’s profound intertwining with the insect world. 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-mongering royalty wage
pointless wars for their own glory. Fantasies of a better
life and a better world serve only to torment those who dare
to dream. One so tormented is a half-breed slave named Anand, a
dung-collector who has known nothing but squalor and abuse.
Anand wants to lead his people against a genocidal army who
fight atop fearsome, translucent Ghost Ants. But to his
horror, Anand 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 Tchaikovsky’s Shadow of the
Apt, Katherine Addison’s The Goblin
Emperor, and Phillip Pullman’s Golden
Compass, this is a powerful new addition to
the genre.
