145 million years ago. Mesozoic era. Cretaceous period.

Great empires of ants and dinosaurs coexist peacefully. Working together, they have achieved great success, but despite this, the differences between them remain too great. Will their union be able to survive or will suspicions and interspecies hatred lead to extinction?

Under the cover of this book lies the novel “Of Ants and Dinosaurs” - a fantastic parable about the conflict of two civilizations, two empires, two worldviews and the catastrophe that leads to which this led to, and the collection “Whale Song,” which includes a dozen previously untranslated stories and novellas by Liu from different years.
