About this audiobook
When colossal scorpions, engineered for combat, seize control of her father’s military base, spirited army brat Calliope Turner becomes a beacon of hope in a world on the brink.
In a dystopian era of relentless drought and in need of protein, scientists modify spiders into giants in a desperate bid for survival. The arachnids later become beasts of burden, then formidable warriors, shaping a nation at war.
As a colonel's daughter, Callie dreams of following in her brother's footsteps and becoming a special-ops soldier. On the day a rocket carrying him is scheduled for the Moon, the base swarms with rebel military arachnids.
Teaming up with a new kid, Callie faces the daunting task of saving the base and rescuing Theo from a disastrous rocket launch. As they confront the mega-scorpion orchestrating the rebellion, Callie's extraordinary gift emerges — she can communicate with the colossal bugs, an ability that could either be their salvation . . . or their doom.
