In a city of sunshine and secrets, <\/b>the shadows belong to the animals.<\/b><\/p>\n
In a solar-powered future, humans live in luxury, served by unseen Little Helpers – artificially enhanced animals who maintain their perfect green cities. The animals’ number one rule: ‘do not bother the humans’. Yet, beneath this tranquil facade, a complex underworld of animal politics, crime and conflict thrives.<\/p>\n
Enter Skotch, a freelance raccoon investigator. Until now, his biggest problem has been a lack of work. Now, his work may get him killed. His latest case? Finding a fugitive mouse scientist. But powerful forces are also after Doctor Meece, and they’re willing to kill for his secrets.<\/p>\n
Can Skotch navigate this treacherous web, outsmart rat gangsters, beat a deadly weasel assassin and keep his pelt intact? More importantly, can he find his quarry before the elusive rodent breaks Rule One in the most apocalyptic way – and shatters their fragile world.<\/p>\n
For those who loved John Scalzi’s Starter Villain and <\/i>Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Service Model<\/i>, Green City Wars<\/i> is a crime-inspired adventure that will draw you deep into an incredible new world . . .<\/b><\/p>\n
