The War of the Animals series is an animal bible that chronicles the rise and fall of animal civilization over ten generations. In Book 6, animal civilization faces its greatest test: the first truly modern war. The foremost ruler of the second epoch, The Red Tiger, seeks to create a worldwide republic to replace the old empires. He wars against the greatest reigning monarchs, the immortal Dryga and the fearsome dragon Feng. Yet, victory comes at a catastrophic cost: the detonation of a bomb greater than any ever detonated in world history. The environmental slaughter is immense. The Red Tiger faces his rise and fall as peace-loving animals abolish warfare as a crime against animalkind. A new age of peace and prosperity begins as the animals embrace scientific progress and say goodbye to the idols of the past. The modern world is finally born.
