“Every ’old’ book is a ’new’ adventure for anyone who has ’never’ read it.” ®

Description : In the summer of 1971, Doctor Nils Hellstrom appeared in his own film production, The Hellstrom Chronicle . The motion picture was a frightening documentary detailing how insects could someday rule the world. It depicted how even a tiny ant or housefly , undaunted by drought, pollution or radiation, could survive through the most deadly holocaust – when higher forms of life, like man, would wither and perish.

With the astounding financial success of the film, the doctor secluded himself on a small stretch of Oregon farm land and financed his ultimate production . Upon investigation, authorities discovered that Hellstrom was running a beehive-like commune – populating the well-guarded compound with human insects. Not bug-like in appearance, of course, they still possessed insect powers far outstripping those of mortal men. Able to carry ten times their normal weight like worker ants, cut through darkness with the infra-red eyes of a dragonfly, reproduce whole appendages like the praying mantis – Hellstrom’s society was super-human in every sense of the word.
