About This Book

A small research camp on a tropical islet records the arrival of a compact metallic disc that ejects a cloud of tiny green, flylike insects; correspondence among expedition members traces discovery, quarantine, and scientific scrutiny as an entomologist identifies chlorophyll-like pigment in the insects' wings. The narrative follows field observations and lab tests, escalating ecological alarm when local predators consume the newcomers and grow unusually large, prompting military containment and urgent attempts to understand the organism's life cycle and impact.
