Malefactor

Robert Repino concludes the War with No Name series in an explosive final novel.

For the first time since the Colony began its campaign of genocide, the survivors of the War with No Name finally have a fleeting chance to achieve a lasting peace. For both the humans and the animals, the conflict has left deep scars, but it has also allowed both sides to demonstrate feats of courage and compassion that were never possible before the Change.

But many on both sides remain fixated on past violence, and are convinced that survival depends on reverting to the old days of bloodshed.

Skirmishes break out between various wolf clans and beaver gangs in and around the city of Hosana, threatening to destroy the fragile peace between humans and animals, and housecat turned war hero Mort(e) plans a spectacular heist. Meanwhile, on board the ship the Vesuvius, the resourceful dog D'Arc and her crew find carcasses of enormous flying ants in the middle of the ocean, a sign that apocalyptic war may once again be at hand.
