The Re-Creation of Roacheria, the third book of the trilogy, tells
Henry's own story. The adult Henry is an enigma. Most members of
New South Dairy Colony 50 consider him too roach-like, even after
he grows beyond the high jinx of his youth. Influencial roaches
consider his ways of Antism, and the fact that he is of mixed
variety, dangerous to their power structure. Hatreds dating back to
the days of Henry's great-grandfather rise again in an attempt to
destroy him and the community that is dedicated to the ways of his
grandfather Antony, and which Henry seeks to build in Roacheria.
Henry and his supporters realize that if the two species cannot
come together in true peace, they will bring themselves to the same
end as the Duo Pods--extinction.
