A mindblowing dispatch from a realm of neurodiverse posthumanity... - Jonathan Lethem, National Book Critics Circle Award-winning novelist
In Graham L. Bishop's post-apocalyptic adventure debut, Earth's last humans live beside animals in the Arkology, an artificial island managed by the tyrannical Melampus Corporation. As a puppy, Prince the poodle was proud to be the first user of Melampus's new cross-species telepathy device, the Specter.
Ten years later, though, Prince is one talking animal among thousands, and his best friend, Dante, a young and idealistic trans man, grows distant in his preparations to become the new Melampus CEO. Dante's attraction to Laura, a compassionate intern from a lower social class, leaves Prince lonely and without purpose.
On an almost tragic research mission, Prince meets Varuna, a mysterious dolphin whose capacity to hack the Specter intrigues him. Varuna offers Prince a dazzling vision: A world where animals can enjoy the same freedoms as humans. To build this world, they get Dante and Laura's help.
But with new friends come new enemies: The old Melampus guard won't give up power so easily, and our heroes discover a terrible secret that calls the fate of the whole cosmos into question. Prince, meanwhile, learns that his new dolphin paramour has secrets of his own.
Can our heroes save the world through cosmic love, or will past heartbreaks lead to doom? Find out...in:
