Deep underground, beneath the cracked earth of an Arizona summer, a fire ant colony is facing something it has never encountered before.
Cinder is a food sorter. But he dreams of becoming a scout, but is sure it will never happen because he is too small — until food begins vanishing from the colony's food stores.
Nobody seems to know how or why their food is vanishing. But the larvae are going hungry, and the colony is in danger.
So Cinder must decide whether to break every rule he was raised to follow.
Colony in Danger is a serialized adventure series set inside a real fire ant colony. The biology is accurate. The colony structure is real. The stakes are genuine. Chapters 1-8 follow Cinder and his nestmates through the first crisis — and the choice that sets everything else in motion.
For readers and listeners who love Watership Down, the Warriors series, Redwall, and adventure fiction for boys, ages 9-14.
Never Stop Exploring Unknown Worlds
I write history and science adventure stories for boys. We explore unknown worlds together through original stories and adaptations of the classics. Fire ant adventures, young Roman legionary adventures with Caesar, Lego fiction and Treasure Island, to name a few. I publish audiobooks, Kindle books, podcasts & on my YouTube.
