Summary "The Raid on the Termites" by Paul Ernst is a science fiction novelette written in the late 19th century. The story explores the unusual adventure of two men, Dennis Braymer and Jim Holden, as they delve into the mysteries of a termite mound, which they see as a gateway to a new world filled with strange, enormous creatures and the unknown intelligence governing them. The opening of the story introduces Dennis, an entomologist, who is captivated by the challenge of studying termites, and his skeptical friend Jim, who views the endeavor as trivial. Their dynamic is established as they discuss the remarkable organization of termite colonies, with Dennis expressing an almost desperate wish to observe their normal behavior. After an intense discussion on the potential dangers of termites and their mysterious intelligence, the narrative sets the stage for their transformation into ant-sized men for an extraordinary exploration into the heart of the termite mound, promising thrilling encounters in an unfamiliar and perilous jungle.
