Prologue

Dr. Winston Turner flew back to the United States from Sao Paulo, Brazil very satisfied and excited by his recent find. He had received a grant from Whitman University funded basically from State University in Kentucky. He was head of Entomology Department for the small college and learned of a species of insect no one heard of before. It was a new breed of hornet found deep in the Amazon Basin nearly four hundred miles into the jungle. Local Indians informed him that these insects were extremely dangerous needing careful handling. Several stings could result in a varities of unexpected results, even death. Winston waited until dark when he returned to the nest he discovered earlier in the day. He sprayed the nest with a paralyzing agent which temporarily placed them into a dormant state. Placing the nest into an escape proof casing, making sure it had proper ventilation and moisture, he headed down the river to civilization with his prized catch knowing his name would go down in history.
