    About this ebook

    Long before we decided to anoint ourselves masters of the planet earth, humble
    insects filled the skies and covered the ground. As of today, it’s estimated that ten quintillion bugs share our world with us. In case you’re wondering, that’s a ten with eighteen zeroes behind it. If that makes you feel outnumbered the countdown has only begun. So get your calculators out, buy an extra fly swatter and stock up on the insect repellent. That humming buzz in the air
    is coming your way fast.

      Chatter filled the cavernous room as a Senate Sub-committee reconvened. A large man with a black suit stood in front of the room and pounded his gavel three times.

      Let’s come to order and conclude this session. Please take your seats. General? We've given you the 15 minutes you requested. Now please answer the question.
