An Apocalyptic Eco-Sci-Fi Short Story
A truly ominous book, right from the very first page... Bombov touches directly on our deepest primal fears and then multiplies them by hundreds, thousands, millions.
A desperate war for survival. A chilling reflection on the decline of mankind.
In a dark, deteriorating future, human recklessness has poisoned the planet. As nuclear plants meltdown and toxic chemical waste seeps deep beneath the streets of the world's mega-cities, an ancient species undergoes a terrifying transformation. For forty years, ordinary rats have been evolving-growing to the size of sheep, possessing immense physical strength and a sinister, rising intelligence.
Now, the underground labyrinths of the sewers belong to them. And they are ready to claim the surface.
Humanity is suddenly thrust into an unforgiving evolutionary war. This is not just a fight against monsters; it is a battle of species, a war of the worlds, a clash between technology, God, and the dark side of civilization. Can the ultra-intelligent Diogenes stop the incoming tide, or have humans truly become prisoners of their own folly?
Of Rats and Men is a fast-paced, action-packed eco-sci-fi short read that hits like a hammer and lingers like a profound philosophical warning.
