Publisher Description
"Fantasy adventure fans will enjoy this." - Publisher's Weekly
In the Survival of the Fittest, Not All Men are Created Equal. Some are Created Lions.
Kirin Wynegarde-Grey is a young lion with a big job - ensuring the stability and order of the Upper Kingdom, a genetically-altered Empire built in the Ashes of the 'Ancestors,' where humans are legend and animals walk like men. When an Ancestor awakens in the West, Kirin must lead a team that includes his unpredictable brother, a lethal swordswoman and three mysterious specialists to eliminate this ancient threat before it can usurp the Way of Things and plunge all the kingdoms into a state of war.
It's 'Planet of the Apes' meets 'Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.' Fans of Tolkien, Game of Thrones, or Japanese anime will be entertained in these intelligent, beautifully written pages in a blend of science, fantasy and zoological speculation.
Customer Reviews
Unique
The main characters of this tale are civilised creatures with pelts instead of skin. However, their world is fractured into complex and competing factions. There are also deep prejudices that are stifling personal relationships and causing friction. A small group has embarked upon an amazing quest to find the last of a vanished race, a human.
Year of the Tiger
An absolutely thrilling read. A very well thought out and very enjoyable tale that really sparks the imagination, with hints of reality and history merged in with incredibly complex possibilities. At times amusing, always interesting and reminiscent of the better authors I have come to enjoy. As active and warlike as R.E. Howard’s CONAN and as complex and profound as Tolkien, I would highly recommend this author to anybody who has an imagination. A very enjoyable read indeed.
