When his brother vanishes during his 'coming of age' quest, Hunter Longshanks must find him and bring him back...or avenge his death! A laboratory that has created super-intelligent cats has been shut down and deemed a failure. But unbeknownst to the scientists, several of these cats have escaped to the nearby garbage dump and carved out their own societies in the shadow of humanity. The genes for human-level intelligence show up in one out of every ten kittens. As one of these 'dekka' cats, Longshanks discovers that his brother is missing and likely taken by the leader of one of the neighboring glarings - the power-mad and insane Sinh! Along with the help of his mentor and grandsire, can the newly christened hunter Longshanks find his brother before Sinh's minions capture and kill him? Included with this story is a preview of the sci-fi epic, The Adventures of Amanda Love.
