On a tiny world, where for hundreds of years kingdoms of mammals, reptiles, birds, and ocean dwellers have waged senseless wars, Maxan - a fox spy for the city guard - stumbles his way into a battle over control of ancient, buried technology that has the power to strip all of these creatures of their rational “human” minds and make them violent killing machines. Where did these devices come from? Who would create such weapons? Why is Maxan immune? What ultimately begins as a pure fantasy story - with swords and sorceries - is revealed to be true science-fiction, as Maxan discovers that all of this technology was designed by humanity for the purpose of enslaving the animals’ minds and make them into puppets, allowing mankind to live out its most violent lusts and fantasies without any repercussions or consequences.

Witness the animal in man.
