Synopsis
The Insect Invasion takes place on Earth, sometime in the twenties. Kent Livingstone has received a letter from Mary Blake, saying: "You must come! It is something nameless-gruesome-" Mary is working for a Mr. Prince in the mining village of Princeville, in Central America.
Livingstone arrives to find Prince, his assistant, Sydney Hope, and Mary in the grip of terror.
There is trouble with ants, they say; ants bother them in Prince's bungalow-nowhere else.
"In the night," Sid says, "you light a lamp suddenly. On the floor you see a line of ants.
Little orderly rows like an advancing army. And when you move or make a noise, they run.
Scamper. Disorganized like the rout of an army. I say, did you ever see an ant run?"
No! Ants do not run. Ants are not frightened by the sound of a human voice, or by a simple motion on the part of human beings. And there was more. The screens around Prince's bungalow were being tampered with, on the outside; but there was never any sign of any one outside to make these tiny holes, cut into the screen, the wire bent back.
What was the explanation? What was the purpose of this insect invasion?
The answers to this riddle led Kent Livingston, Sydney Hope, Mary Blake, and
Mr. Prince into the most fantastic adventures that anyone ever imagined.
