The greatest fighting machine the world has ever known. This tiny creature has survived dinosaurs, asteroids, mega-volcanoes, the ice age, and science's deadliest insecticides. We've stomped her, sprayed her, and cursed her, but this time we went too far. She and her twenty quadrillion sisters just received an interstellar signal to wipe us out.

Amazon reviews... "Gary Naiman's The Response had me glued to the page from the very first chapter. The premise - a global ant uprising triggered by an interstellar signal - is utterly chilling. Naiman doesn't shy away from the gruesome details, painting a vivid picture of humanity's desperate struggle against an overwhelming enemy. What really sets this book apart is how it explores the interconnectedness of all life. We humans, in our arrogance, have underestimated the intelligence and resilience of these tiny creatures. The Response serves as a stark reminder of our place in the natural order and the potential consequences of our actions. It's a thrilling and thought-provoking read that will stay with you long after you turn the final page." (Ryleigh Jones 12/13/24)

This is the second book I've read from this author. An amazing idea and it's executed so well. The idea of such an attack is horrifying, and the author makes it feel so real. It's definitely the best science fiction thriller I've read in a long time. If you like something that will scare and intrigue you, I recommend you read this book (SURESHOT 10/1/24)

"The Response delivers a unique and terrifying twist on sci-fi horror. The idea of ants receiving an interstellar signal to annihilate humanity is both original and spine-chilling. the author masterfully weaves suspense and action, making this book a gripping read from start to finish. The detailed portrayal of the insect world taking over adds an unsettling realism that makes you question our dominance as a species. If you're into sci-fi creature stories with a plot twist, this one will definitely keep you on edge." (MF 10/24 Germany)

"Terrific. Loved this story. It's a unique twist for sci-fi. As a self-professed bug-dork I expected to like the book, but it was much better than anticipated. Any fan of sci-fi creature movies should read this. It's creative and fast paced with plenty of action and a real plot twist." (AC)

"The insect world runs amok in Gary Naiman's science fiction novel, The Response. While bio-pesticides might seem to be the threat that incites the ants to wipe us out, it's actually the stridulated message from distant space that calls its insect children to arms." (DWP)

"Even though it's science fiction, the thought that insects could one day be the dominant species on Earth is both enlightening and horrifying. I recommend this book to anyone interested in science fiction and horror." (MH)

Enjoy the ride while preparing yourself for The Response's terrifying sequel,From the Void.
