A genre-busting postapocalyptic first novel—a page-turning adventure channeling Animal Farm as imagined by Cormac McCarthy The "war with no name" has begun; its goal, human extinction. The instigator of this war is the Colony, a race of intelligent ants who, for thousands of years, have been silently building an army that will forever eradicate the destructive, oppressive humans. Under the Colony's watchful eye, this utopia will be free of the humans' penchant for violence, exploitation, and religious superstition. The final step in the Colony's war effort is the transformation of surface animals into high-functioning two-legged beings who will rise up and kill their masters. Former house cat turned war hero Mort(e) is famous for taking on the most dangerous missions and fighting the dreaded human bioweapon EMSAH. But the true motivation behind Mort(e)'s recklessness is his ongoing search for a pretransformation friend—a dog named Sheba. When he receives a mysterious message from the dwindling human resistance claiming Sheba is alive, he begins a journey that will take him from the remaining human strongholds to the heart of the Colony, where he will discover the source of EMSAH and learn the ultimate fate of all earth's creatures.

If being surprised is your goal in reading and listening, then Robert Repino’s Mort(e), read by the Bronson Pinchot is going to satisfy in a big way. Even for those who might shy away from animals as people, in this wonderfully original reading by Bronson Pinchot, you’ll meet Mort(e) whose quest to make sense of society is continually frustrated as he finds no social group, animal or insect, human or otherwise has not been able to grab the brass ring of species success, and Mr. Repino leaves us doubting if life on this planet ever will. Here, instead of finding a dystopian genre fused with what could have been a cliché of giant ants and animals becoming sentient, you’re given an exciting mind challenge that refuses to be dismissed into the heap of science fiction waste. Mr. Pinchot enhances this enthralling book with fascinating characterizations to guarantee and enjoyable experience.
