What this book is about
The fifth Pendragon novel takes Bobby to Eelong, a territory where humans are kept as livestock by an intelligent cat species. Saint Dane's plan for this territory is one of the most disturbing in the series. MacHale's pacing remains excellent and the world-building continues to expand impressively.
