Ants By Jeanne Evans "Nature is no sentimentalist-does not cosset or pamper us. We must see that the world is rough and surly, and will not mind drowning a man or woman, but swallows your ships like a grain of dust. The cold, inconsiderate of persons, tingles your blood, benumbs your feet, and freezes a man like an apple. The diseases, the elements, fortune, gravity, lightning, respect no person." - Emerson. * "Terror strikes the heart of a small South Carolina town's Sheriff when the people in his charge begin to disappear. 'Ants' is the gripping story of nature going terribly wrong. This is not a book that you can easily put down. It's a page turner to the very end." - Faith Frenyea
