Customer Reviews

Very Very good.

This is such a good book.I'm almost done,but I was just aching to write a review on it.Norton uses things that I've never seen before in Sci Fi.Cats,rats,dogs,and others have evolved.The Demons (as the cats call humans)have died out ,for they destroyed eachother .We do not like to think it,but that is one of the possibilities of mankind's fate.Synopsis:The Demons have died out,but races are still at war ,not serious war ,but still war.The cave of Gammage is discraced,for Gammage uses the materials of the Demons.Furtig ,Gammage's great great grandson goes to learn from him.As he is learning of the tools of the Demons ,there comes a day when Furtig sees a Demon spaceship landing .They must fight them.

Cats as humans are alright

I would have to disagree with the last reviewer. True, the cats and other mutated animals are pretty much like people, but that makes them easy to identify with... and since when was fantasy/scifi real anyhow? The storyline is very tight, and Norton does a wonderful job of painting the picture of an original and unique future earth - one unlike anything I've read anywhere else. Not a deep book, but that's not her style. One of her better works in my opinion.

This is the best book I have ever read.

This is a must for any cat lover who also likes science fiction books.As soon as I had finished reading if I got alot of his other books.I suggest you read this book.

On Earth in the future, humans are returning.

This book is a "must read" for S.F. fans and any cat or dog people. The premise isn't as far out as most of the latest S.F. stories, and does tie in with current environmental concerns. If it tells one anything, I read this book many years ago, and still remember it vividly.

A great book

This is one of the best books I have ever read... right up there with Tailchaser's Song, by Tad Williams. It is almost the same, except the humans are coming back to the planet they destroyed. The animals have become smarter because of the pollution, though, and they don't approve of the "demons" that are coming to Earth. This book is full of adventure. I highly suggest that you read it!
