Book description
Few true humans remain on the future Earth, where caimen, shrugleggers,
and felinas dominate. The peoples are descendents of crocodiles, alien
races, and jaguars, and they are much different than the humans - they
are products of genetic experiments, created to perform specific
functions. Some work in the swampy lands, others are the strong
burden-bearers, but none are as beautiful as the felines - not even the
humans. And no one is worthy enough to win over the most attractive
felina, Karina. She is a rare beauty of great prowess, with a tempting
sculpted physique that could lure anyone to her. Michael G. Coney is
the award-winning author of such novels as SYZYGY, MONITOR FOUND IN
ORBIT, BRONTOMEK, CAT KARINA, and THE CELESTIAL STEAM LOCOMOTIVE. His
short stories have appeared in magazines the world over and are
frequently included in anthologies.
