About the book

Read the full description

America is a police state, and it is about to be threatened by the most hellish enemy in the world: a beehive-like commune of humans who behave like insects and who possess insect powers far outstripping those of mortal men. When the Agency discovered that Dr. Hellstrom’s Project 40 was a cover for a secret laboratory, a special team of agents was immediately dispatched to discover its true purpose and its weaknesses – it could not be allowed to continue. What they discovered was a nightmare more horrific than even their paranoid government minds could devise: an unconquerable super-weapon that could vaporize whole cities in seconds and could condemn Earth’s helpless masses to Hellstrom’s twisted version of existence forever.
