The Ants of Flanders

The universe is at war and has been for millions of years. A temporary armistice is in place, but that is about to be broken. One side in this massive conflict will attempt to grab a very ripe prize. Which happens to be the Earth. And the other side will do everything in its power to stop this invasion, including destroying what the enemy wants to possess.

"Even as a baby, Bloch proved immune to loud noises and bad dreams. His older and decidedly normal brother later hammered him with stories about nocturnal demons and giant snakes that ate nothing but kindergarteners, yet those torments only fed a burning curiosity. As a seven year-old, Bloch slipped out of the house at night, wandering alleys and wooded lots, hoping to come across the world's last T. rex. At nine, he got on a bus and rode halfway to Seattle, wanting to chase down Bigfoot. He wasn't testing his bravery. Bravery was what other people summoned when their mouths went dry and hearts pounded. What he wanted was to stare into the eyes of a monster, admiring its malicious, intoxicating power, and if possible, steal a little of that magic for himself."
