Rather than the environmental crisis of book 2, the leader thrusts the citizens of book 3 into a dystopian world where all aspects of their lives are controlled. As in book 2 of my trilogy, an authoritarian dictator seizes control of the planet, but this draconian leader takes it to an entirely different level. The premise for the plot, however, was heavily inspired by the dystopian novels Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and 1984 by George Orwell.
So, although the plotline was less constrained, I again drew the world-building and character archetypes from my wife’s story. Yet the characters are still cyborg insects that have returned to their rejuvenated planet. The third novel of the trilogy is much more open-ended since it occurs long after the period described in the children’s book. They explained how Earth insects were transported to a planet in a far-off galaxy, transformed into cyborg insects, decimated their world, and nearly destroyed their moon. The first two novels in my trilogy, The Antunite Chronicles, were the backstory of my wife’s children’s book Black Hole Radio-Bilaluna.
What was the inspiration for the setup of your story? Antunites Unite follows different ants who are trying to prevent their colonies from being enslaved by cyborg insects.
