Enter the world of Henry Roach-Dairier: a future world where humans
no longer exist. Insects, greatly enlarged and intelligent,
dominate. Ants live comunal lives, dedicated to each other, while
roaches are materialistic and self-centered. But both species are
chemically dependent on plastic, mined from the ruins of the
extinct Duo Pods, and the most valuable resource of the insect
world. Henry, son of a roach adopted by ants, tries to bridge the
canyon of differences between these vying ideologies and cultures.
New South Dairy Colony 50, the second book of the trilogy, opens
with Henry as a nymph, in a coma after accidentally ingesting a bad
combination of medicines in his physician father's lab. His ant
grandfather, Antony Dairier, decides it's time to straighten out
his grandson. He reveals to Henry the details of his own life: the
war and the emotional pain which resulted in his dedication to the
ideal of the experimental ant/roach colony, New South Dairy 50.
