Book Description
Alternative Universe Mysteries for Adult Animal Lovers that relate the exploits of super-sleuth Octavius Bear and his cohorts. Just for fun, this series swaps anthropomorphic animals for humans in a world very similar to our own 21st century Earth. Homo Sapiens disappeared in a long ago global disaster but many surviving animal species matured, transformed and advanced in very familiar ways. The disappearance of a world famous sapphire sends Octavius and his companions on a wild duck chase after Imperius Drake, who is set on world conquest. On the way to a near catastrophic climax at a plush Las Vegas hotel, there are romantic interludes, hi-tech wonders, violence, slapstick, and silly limericks that open every chapter. A children’s story? Nope! These tales are aimed at adults with fun-loving girls and boys living inside them. You? They’re a hybrid genre – mostly mystery, part detective pastiche, part sci-fi/fantasy with occasional bits of social commentary and off-the-wall foolery.
