Green City Wars

In a city of sunshine and secrets, the shadows belong to the animals. In a solar-powered future, humans live in luxury, served by unseen Little Helpers – artificially enhanced animals who maintain their masters’ perfect green cities. The animals’ number one rule: ‘do not bother the humans’. Yet, beneath this tranquil facade, a complex underworld of animal politics, crime and conflict thrives. Enter Skotch, a freelance raccoon investigator. Until now, his biggest problem has been a lack of work. Now, his work may get him killed. His latest case? Finding a fugitive mouse scientist. But powerful forces are also after Doctor Meece, and they’re willing to kill for his secrets. Can Skotch navigate this treacherous web, outsmart rat gangsters, beat a deadly weasel assassin and keep his pelt intact? More importantly, can he find his quarry before the elusive rodent breaks Rule One in the most apocalyptic way – and shatters their fragile world? For those who loved John Scalzi’s Starter Villain and Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Service Model , Green City Wars is a crime-inspired adventure that will draw you deep into an incredible new world . . . * * * Praise for Adrian Tchaikovsky ‘One of the most interesting and accomplished writers in speculative fiction’ – Christopher Paolini, author of The Inheritance Cycle series ‘Fantastic and highly imaginative’ – Peter F.
