Hidden in a remote corner of the South American jungle is a clandestine research facility known simply as MEROS. Here, working in laboratories buried a thousand feet underground, military scientists have developed the most astonishing and deadly weapon known to man . . .

Meanwhile, on the other side of the globe, a Chinook helicopter lands a highly trained squad of special forces soldiers deep in hostile territory - their mission: to clean up a black-ops killzone. As they enter the cave, they hear the faint buzz of the weapon - like the beating of a thousand pairs of insect wings . . .

Review:

Self-confessed "gore fan' Ben Kay has outdone himself with this new novel.
In a secret underground lab in the South American jungle, scientists have created the most deadly weapon known to mankind. Thousands of genetically modified wasps have been bred as killers and soon they'll be used to take over the world.
A genuinely terrifying, occasionally disturbing read and not one for the faint hearted. Fans of Stephen King and Michael Crichton will lap it up. --News Of The World, December 12, 2010
