First entry in a new series with three big all new linked novellas from multiple best-sellers S.M. Stirling, John Ringo & Jody Lynn Nye, and Harry Turtledove! After the extinction asteroid DOESN'T strike Earth, the dinosaurs keep evolving—but so do the mammals. We mammals have achieved human-like shapes, but now it's cold-blooded, magic-using reptiles against the hot-blooded, hot-tempered descendants of cats.
In a heroic, bronze-age world similar to 300, the Mrem Clan of the Claw and its sister warbands are expanding their rough-and-tumble territory, but now they face the Lishkash, masters of a cold-blooded empire of slave armies and magic. It's mammalian courage and adaptation against reptile cunning in a clash of steel and will that will determine which line shall inherit the Earth.

Product ReviewLove Ringo and Stirling but found this book to be like slogging through a swamp of molasses. Not compelling at all, in fact this is one of a very few books that I have put down and not finished. Sorry John and S.M., not worth the time or money.

Product ReviewIts funny: I never imagined criticizing Ringo and Stirling of writing a left-wing polemic, but there it is: the Koch Brothers hire and train half the working class to kill the other half. Bit the working class looses their chains and unites.
While I wholeheartedly support this change of heart, naive Marxism just doesn't make for good storytelling. I just can't suspend my disbelief of am entire species committed to Galtian selfishness. Sure enough, come the revolution, the lot of them go up against the wall.
