The Long Detour

A band of rodents (plus one quokka) take a road trip across 21st century Austratlia, from the Wild West through the outback Red Centre to the even wilder Far North. On the way they have to deal with various messes made by the humans. But these dirty rats are clever, they know how to program robots and to use weapons.
Robots, martial arts, genetic engineering gone horribly wrong, battle fleets, planes and guns. The right of every rat to bear arms. You’ll never look a pet rodent in the eye again.
