Inhaltsangabe

In this contemporary animal-fantasy, told in the style of Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH, animals discover a human plot to launch a nuclear terrorist strike that could result in world-wide destruction, and the death of all animal life. The animals hold a Congress, led by Old Eddie, the wisest elephant at the National Zoo. Despite dissenting views, Congress elects a first-strike solution involving inter-species collaboration.  Analogies to current world events -- Chernobyl, arms proliferation, and environmental issues like the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster -- make this novel a relevant book. This highly readable, widely praised Animal Fantasy features 12 original pen-and-ink illustrations by Savage, and is designed by acclaimed book producer Brian Taylor.

Aus dem Klappentext

"... Old Eddie had no idea what to do. He flapped his huge ears, and shook his five-ton, ten-foot tall body, shifting his weight from one leaden foot to another. Years ago he'd overheard some of the people who gathered outside his bars talking about such places as Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and after hearing what had happened in those cities he had been unable to sleep for days. Why were humans so insensitive to the feelings of animals?..."
