War Of The Animals

The War of the Animals series is an animal bible that chronicles the rise and fall of animal civilization over ten generations.

The first book, The Shut Face of Thunder, asks the question: What would happen if animals fought back against the destruction of their habitats? What if it was a fair fight? After the military weaponizes animals, their intellects awaken. The military responds by creating death camps to exterminate infected animals. Moon Shadow, an Arctic white wolf, unites with White Claw, a polar bear king, to form Animus Nor, the first animal republic, to negotiate peace. The uneasy peace is broken with the rise of Azaz, lord of the grizzly bears. Azaz attacks human settlements, considering humans an invasive species that wreaks havoc on bears and the environment. A world war breaks out as the animals fight to overthrow humanity, only to repeat the sins of war.
