Leiningen Versus The Ants by Neal Stephenson
A stubborn plantation owner in the Brazilian jungle refuses to abandon his land when a colossal army of soldier ants advances, relying on meticulous defenses—moats, petrol trenches, and fire—to hold them back. As the living tide adapts and overwhelms each barrier, he faces the limits of human will and ingenuity, culminating in a harrowing sprint through the swarm to release floodwaters and save his workers. The ordeal becomes a stark contest between one man’s determination and nature’s relentless force.
