[Secret GOAT] [Ants!] [All Over Me!]

Phase IV

Barry Malzberg

Pocket Book, NY. 1974. Fifth printing of Pocket Book edition. Some rubbing to front and rear but otherwise excellent.

From the publisher:

"Triumphant from a fifteen thousand year battle in space, a bolt of energy reached the third planet of a Class B star. A new life force spawned seven grey towers in the Arizona desert.Now, from out of their dark mysteries marches a new breed of killer ants to herald the dawn of Phase IV…In their path wait two men, a frightened girl and the resources of modern science. Mankind's first line of defense—and its last… Novelization based on a story and screenplay by Mayo Simon."

Awesome film, seriously check it out! But wait...Barry Malzberg doing an adaptation of said film? Insane. Malzberg is your favorite writer's favorite sci-fi writer, and this is a wonderful display of his chops. Step to it!
