THE INHERITORS OF EARTH

Four thousand years after humanity vanished, the animals it left behind built a civilisation in its ruins. The raccoons engineer. The cats rule from a restored Versailles. The baboons drill for a war nobody has declared. In Antarctica, the penguins quietly run the numbers on all of it. Gizmo, a raccoon master engineer, finds a forty-micron gap in a part that should have been perfect. It is the first thread. Pulling it will unravel a conspiracy three layers deep — through the ocean, through the palace, and out to a machine the size of a solar system that has been watching this world since before any of them could speak. And four hundred million miles out, a human generation ship is finally coming home. A complete 70-chapter novel. Multi-species political science fiction for readers of Watership Down and Ancillary Justice. The full novel is available on Amazon: https://www.royalroad.com/amazon/B0HJLYNQNG
