July 2016 Debut of the Month The streets and alleys of the Nizamuddin quarter of Delhi provide the backdrop for this thrilling story of warrior cats. There’s a real sense of unease and danger in the opening chapters when a strange cat takes over the Sending, the psychic network through which the cats communicate.
That cat is Mara, a house cat and no danger to the strays, or wildings as they call themselves. But they’ll need her help when a real danger threatens. Filled with a large cast of fascinating and unusual animal characters, tigers, weasels and birds as well of course cats, this is a real page-turner, and the cats’ eye view of the world is very cleverly maintained.
The description of this as a feline Watership Down is very apt. Readers would also enjoy the Warriors series by Erin Hunter, Inbali Iserles’s Tygrine Cat books and SF Said’s Varjak Paw novels. ~ Andrea Reece
