If you buy the premise -- that human beings can be shrunk to less than 2" in height and still function -- this is a rip-roaring survival tale of predatory insects and resourceful heroes. The authors lose points for acknowledging the major problem -- minuscule lungs trying to process relatively large oxygen molecules -- but promptly lose them again for not even trying to come up with a hypothetical solution.
