Excellent fiction about animal rights

When an outraged ex-Special Forces veteran turns to violent retribution in defense of animals, his brother must negotiate the moral complexities of family loyalty versus loyalty to the larger human community, all the while struggling to understand what has driven his brother to kill. Tobias packs this novel with all the shocking horror and cruelty toward animals that is carefully hidden away by a speciesist society engaged in a tacit conspiracy against animals. A tour de force!

My favorite book of all time!

This book is a MUST read for any enlightened person! I buy this for everyone I know. It's a real "Edge of your seat" read but also gave me great satisfation concerning animal rights! Don't miss this!!

you haven't read this book yet?

A Suberbly Radical Political Thriller

This is a riveting tale of a revolutionary out for justice. A mind-numbing mixture of intrigue, suspense, romance and comedy while two bumbling FBI agents struggle in vain to apprehend their fugitive. An ex-Special Forces veteran's crusade against the American culture of violence against our nonhuman brethren enlightens the reader with eye-opening detail, enhanced by surprise humor, depending on the reader's perspective. In a timely format, nearly ripped from the headlines, Tobias explores the most vile aspects of humanity, spiced up by a sensuous love affair between the hero/fugitive and a reluctant sympathizer.A unique amalgam of Ingrid Newkirk's Free the Animals; Terry Gilliam's film, 12 Monkeys; and the action/adventure of Indiana Jones and James Bond, Rage & Reason will do for animal rights what The Monkey Wrench Gang did for ecology. Tobias' Felham is a radical Holden Caulfield (of Catcher in the Rye fame) for the 1990's with a mission to save Mother Earth.Animal exploiters of the world might heed Felham's warning: Hell no hath no fury like a woman scorned. That woman is Mother Nature, and She's pretty irate.
