Not a book review, but a short story. I believe I remember seeing a movie back when I was a kid set around this story. In the movie he had some mail order bride on the plantation so there was an influx of drama with that as well as the approaching hoard...

I told DW that the story was amazing and would be a very exciting movie. I went looking, hoping to find Carl Stephenson's inspiration for the story. Perhaps he had had a personal encounter with the ants while on travel? I didn't find that info, but I did find that Charleston Heston had beaten me to the movie idea by a mere 66 years in the film The Naked Jungle. It was also the basis for 3 radio shows starring William Conrad (Cannon), a MacGyver episode, and two parodies by John Candy and National Lampoon. National Lampoon replaced the ants with snails and they were eventually defeated by a generous supply of garlic butter and turned into escargot. wiki/Leiningen_Versus_the_Ants |

A very young Charlton Heston, who is one of my favorite actors. |
