With the fragile interspecies peace that followed the War With No Name
under assault from land and sea, Sheba and Mort(e) have no choice but to
take up their arms and enter once again into the conflict that
threatened to tear them apart.
"Repino's dog, cat, and beaver soldiers are nakedly real, as honest as
any characters in modern fiction. As horrible as it may sound, may The
War With No Name never end.
--Corey Redekop, author of Husk
In the aftermath of the War With No Name, the Colony has been defeated,
its queen lies dead, and the world left behind will never be the same.
In her madness, the queen used a strange technology to uplift the
surface animals, turning dogs and cats, bats and bears, pigs and wolves
into intelligent, highly evolved creatures who rise up and kill their
oppressors. And now, after years of bloodshed, these sentient beasts
must learn to live alongside their sworn enemies--humans.
Far removed from this newly emerging civilization, a housecat turned war
hero named Mort(e) lives a quiet life with the love he thought he had
lost, a dog named Sheba. But before long, the chaos that they escaped
comes crashing in around them. An unstoppable monster terrorizes a
nearby settlement of beavers. A serial killer runs amok in the holy city
of Hosanna. An apocalyptic cult threatens the fragile peace. And a
mysterious race of amphibious creatures rises from the seas, intent on
fulfilling the Colony's destiny and ridding the world of all humans. No
longer able to run away, Sheba and Mort(e) rush headlong into the
conflict, ready to fight but unprepared for a world that seems hell-bent
on tearing them apart. In the twilight of all life on Earth, love
survives, but at a cost that only the desperate and the reckless are
willing to pay.
