John Storm comes face to face with a giant prehistoric insect, in a nightmare.

The 'Insectaraptors' are a very dangerous species, that became isolated in Antarctica, having wiped out the Dinosaurs. Their natural biological enemy is the 'Sectasaur.' The Sectasaurs successfully trapped these Raptors in Antarctica. Where they were frozen in time, until global warming, thawed out the ice caps, North and South poles.

In the sequel to "Sectasaur," Lin Pop Chang, returns to Antarctica, when he discovers a clutch of frozen eggs that he mistakes for Sectasaur eggs. He incubates one of them, a queen, who lays fresh eggs that hatch in the warmer climate. The hatchling Insectaraptors attack and eat Chang's crew.

The Insectaraptors then go on the rampage, starving and hungry for food, they attack the crew of the Elizabeth Swann, boarding the vessel at anchor, where a battle continues in the Southern Ocean. That, fortunately for John, Charley and Dan, they are able to fend off, with the able assistance of Hal, and the ship's defenses: Merlin, Excalibur and Pendragon.

That leave John and crew with a big problem. Back on mainland Antarctica, a menace to humanity is now alive and waiting for any expeditionary visitors to provide a way off the island, to colonize the known world, from the bottom of the world to the top.

Dinosaurs retreated to the farthest corners of the world as the impromptu ice age enveloped the world, thought by many scientists to have been triggered by collision with an asteroid. If being hunted by Insectasaurus Rex, especially in social packs, Tyrannosaurus Rex and Velociraptors would not have stood a chance. That is because ants are exoskeleton in design, whereas fossil remains confirm most large dinosaurs to be endoskeleton. That single feature, coupled with the speed of an insect, and their fearsome sting, would have seen the demise of any large food source, as Sectasaur numbers grew. The Bulldog ant from Australia, can jump as fast as a man can run. And their sting will paralyze any human foolish enough to get in the way.
