Fantasy
Both familiar and fantastic, Clark T. Carltonβs Prophets of the Ghost Ants explores a world in which food, weapons, clothing, artβeven religious beliefsβare derived from Humankindβs 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 Tchaikovskyβs Shadow of the Apt, Katherine Addisonβs The Goblin Emperor, and Phillip Pullmanβs Golden Compass, this is a powerful new addition to the genre.
