Exotic species are invading Australia at a frightening rate. Everyone knows about cane toads and rabbits, but few people have heard of the hundreds of other invaders now infiltrating Australia, such as giant seaworms, crazy ants and new diseases.

Biologist Tim Low tells for the first time the story of the biological invasion of Australia. Tapping a rich vein of scientific data, fascinating stories and personal experiences, he argues convincingly that bio-invasion poses a threat more ominous than greenhouse gases, industrial pollution and ozone depletion.
