‘smart, amusing, sexy, vicious and bloody’ Authonomy review
If the dark clouds stoop our shoulders and the barren land refuses life, without an intervention of angels, how can we hope to survive? A tale of eternal war between cat-like aliens and ape-like aliens, fought with ritual and honour, until the arrival of a stricken craft from a devastated Earth changes everything.
The clamour of war calls again to the Cats and the Apes, and Handus is really screwed. Somehow, he’s been chosen to be the Cats’ Champion, and how can that work out well for him? He’s well trained, but he’s small, and the Apes are so big, and that ugly one keeps grinning at him.
Beneath the shadow of The Wall, he must prove himself a hero, or end up a dismembered corpse.
When a stricken craft from Earth arrives, is change possible? Or is there just another enemy to fight?
The eight humans could mean victory; but they don’t yet know about the Succ-y-Rist.
If one man can take his eyes off the glorious Pi for a single second, and another reconsider his bathing regime then, just maybe, they can save a world; or die trying.
There is treachery and blood; heroism and folly, and a multitude of aliens. And the sex; don’t forget the sex.
