That's a lie; I want to draw attention to how awesome this book is. Never encountered a premise quite like this one; it might be distantly related to a Mad-max-ish, Gamma World mutated world where monsters evolve out of animals, but this wasn't an apocalypse that can be blamed on any (apparent) human failing - the cosmos decided to stab us in the back for reasons unknown.It's sci-fi, but I can't quite give it 5 stars, because not enough attention was paid to a scientific rationale for the massive faunal transmigration that shattered human civilization. (And I'd like to think it would be a little more difficult to exterminate the U.S. Army)But it has it all; intense - nail-biting action, military research, and compelling, intriguing characters - definitely beyond the reach of an 'over-heated fifteen year old'. It deserves to be a series, and a hit. Anything similar? For other bizarre visions of Armageddon, It reminds me of Apocalypse Doll: Reboot, by Xavier Cecil.
