"After the 'war with no name' a cat assassin searches for his
lost love in Repino's strange, moving sci-fi epic that channels
both Homeward Bound and A Canticle for Leibowitz.

"The 'war with no name' has begun, with human extinction as its
goal. 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 would 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. As a final
step in the war effort, the Colony uses its strange technology
to transform the surface animals into high-functioning two-
legged beings who rise up to kill their masters.

"Former housecat turned war hero, Mort(e) is famous for taking
on the most dangerous missions and fighting the dreaded human
bio-weapon EMSAH. But the true motivation behind his
recklessness is his ongoing search for a pre-transformation
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 the ultimate fate of all of earth's
creatures."
