My favorite author, Bernard Werber, the greatest author on this planet, isn't known enough by the English-speaking world... and I can't talk about him here :( It makes me feel so frustrated. That man is a genius...

And his books are translated in so many languages, including English, but the only one I could find in the language was Empire Of The Ants. A great trilogy... but I could only find the first book!!!! It's terrible, Nick loved it, and can't even read the rest... and his other books are just just as good...

See, he has a unique style: he mixes realistic fiction, science, science-fiction, phylosophy, mythology, and humor. Lots of humor.

Everyone should be able to read his books. It's unfair.

I had the same problem with Robert Anton Wilsons works here in germany. Nobody seems to know Illuminatus or Cosmic Trigger (it frustrated me so much back again in 1999 that we only have the first Cosmic Trigger translated in germany) but it is such a great work.

I saw the Ants triologie in an bookstore in my village but I don't bought it. Maybe I should start to read it? Is the movie "Antz" related to the book?

No, it isn't related to Antz. I've read the first book twice and would have read the rest of the trilogy but, alas, it's not to be. Hopefully someday they'll translate the rest, as well as Werber's other books.
