'The last five men on Earth . . . that's how the small expedition team felt - lost in unexplored desert and facing a dangerous enemy. On the second day giant insects abducted the team's leader - and then there were four. The next night the youngest member of the group was killed - and then there were three. Then the other men raced for safety but the weakest couldn't make it - and then there were two.
