Product Description
CLAWS OF FURY, by British Animation Award-nominated TV writer Chris Trengove (KING ARTHUR'S DISASTERS, JUNGLE BOOK, DENNIS AND GNASHER) is a fast-moving adventure fantasy that's ideal for boys and young adults, with strong female characters that make it appealing to girls too. Set in a savage future world where mankind is just a distant memory, it features human-like descendants of cats and dogs - Katzers and Mangies - who fight a never-ending turf war, in which feline grace and cunning are pitted against canine warrior skills and sheer brawn. Our hero is teenage tearaway Ninelives, who puts together a crew of young Katzers - including circus knife-thrower Tabith, his feisty sister Mynx and psychic Spacer - to take on the might of the most-feared Mangy warlord of all, Warrod the Cur. Along the way Ninelives and his friends face numerous dangers, from chopper-riding Mangy warriors to vampire owls. But with the help of legendary freedom fighter One-Eye Tom they prevail, driving the Mangies back into the desert... until a fearsome new leader comes to the fore. CLAWS OF FURY is the first book in the CLAWS TRILOGY, the second of which, CLAWS OF THUNDER, is also now available. Taking up where CLAWS OF FURY left off, it again features Ninelives and his crew, this time facing disaster as they battle electric storms, giant mutant creatures and ruthless Mangy chief Gizzard the Merciless. Both books feature covers by well-known comic book artist Kevin Hopgood (JUDGE DREDD, IRON MAN.)
