The instigator of this war is the Colony, a race of       intelligent ants who, for thousands of years, have been       silently building an army that would forever eradicate the       destructive, oppressive humans. Under the Colony's watchful       eye, this utopia will be free of the humans' penchant for       violence, exploitation and religious superstition. As a final       step in the war effort, the Colony uses its strange technology       to transform the surface animals into high-functioning two-       legged beings who rise up to kill their masters.              "Former housecat turned war hero, Mort(e) is famous for taking       on the most dangerous missions and fighting the dreaded human       bio-weapon EMSAH. But the true motivation behind his       recklessness is his ongoing search for a pre-transformation       friend-a dog named Sheba. When he receives a mysterious message       from the dwindling human resistance claiming Sheba is alive, he       begins a journey that will take him from the remaining human       strongholds to the heart of the Colony, where he will discover       the source of EMSAH and the ultimate fate of all of earth's       creatures."              Title: Morte | Paperback       Author: Robert Repino       Series: War with No Name # 1 (series)       Pub: Soho Press | Soho Press       Categories: Fiction / Fantasy - Epic / Dystopian / Science Fiction -       Apocalyptic & Post-Apocalyptic       Published Jul 13, 2021                     --- OpenXP 5.0.51        * Origin: Mobile?
