Their journey is one of courage, camaraderie, and the relentless fight to save a world on the edge of ruin. Join them in this epic tale of survival and redemption! Army of 29 Cats is weird in the best way possible. Army of 29 Cats is a gritty, post-apocalyptic story told through the eyes of street-smart, dumpster-diving cats. The setting is Atomic City, a once-thriving metropolis now drowning in purple fog, feral vibes, and existential dread. Our main feline hero, McGrady, is basically a warrior-poet with claws, and along with his anxious but lovable sidekick Paws, they set out to find out what's corrupting their city—and their friends. It's like Watership Down meets Blade Runner , but covered in fur and way more sarcastic. I was not expecting to get emotionally attached to a cat. But there I was, rooting for him as he leapt rooftops, dodged glowing-eyed mutant dogs, and tried to rescue Felina, a cat gone rogue. The writing has this flow that jumps between poetic and street-wise without missing a beat. Like when Grandma Mittens describes Felina's haunting purple eyes. That's some vivid storytelling. The whole world-building around Atomic City is eerie and immersive. It's a mess of decay, forgotten neighborhoods, creepy raccoons, and weird purple goo that's turning everyone into mindless husks. I was hooked. The dialogue is hilarious and punchy. The banter between McGrady and Paws had me laughing. There's also a moment where Amazing Grace—who totally lives up to her name—pulls a full-on parkour escape from a dog pack and disappears like a silver ninja. And when Professor Waffles showed up with his steampunk goggles, I almost clapped. The characters are so over-the-top but grounded in enough raw emotion that it works. Sometimes, the book throws a lot at you. Like, every chapter ramps up the action and adds another creepy villain, new neighborhood, or dramatic cat monologue. I occasionally lost track of who was infected and who was just cranky. And the purple-eye infection subplot was super cool and ominous but gets a bit murky in explanation. I wanted a tiny bit more clarity there, especially after the introduction of Mr. Geiger, the ultra-creepy villain. Still, I had a blast reading this. The mix of high-stakes adventure, grimy urban survival, and cat drama is unique. If you're into dystopias, underground animal rebellions, or just want something completely unexpected, Army of 29 Cats delivers. It's great for readers who liked Redwall but always wished the characters were sassier and the setting more cyberpunk. I'd hand this to teens, adult animation fans, or anyone who secretly thinks their cat is plotting world domination. Thomas Anderson Editor In Chief Literary Titan "Army of 29 Cats" by Wynter St. Vaughan is a science fiction post-apocalyptic adventure of cats fighting to reclaim their city from pollution, purple sludge, feral dogs, and humanity's apathy. Initially, McGrady and Paws Skaggs are searching for food and Felina, their sick friend, but then their quest expands. Why did their once-thriving city deteriorate to this state? Can they return Atomic City to its previous glory? Will McGrady and Paws Skaggs ever locate Felina? This is an epic tale of camaraderie, courage, and the relentless struggle to survive and thrive. The world-building is outstanding, and the detailed descriptions are almost lyrical at times. The cats all have distinct personalities, Ted the talking puppy is cute and honorable, and there are unexpected plot twists that make this book very interesting, plus the ending contains a surprise plot twist. Although this is in a futuristic post-apocalyptic setting, it almost reads like a historic, ancient tale told down through the ages. I recommend this book to animal lovers of all ages, especially cat lovers, as the author displays an impressive knowledge of felines. The illustrations are beautiful and very detailed, detailing the cats and backgrounds perfectly to suit the areas as described by the author. Wynter St. Vaughan is a lifetime lover of animals. I rate this book a 5 out of 5. "Army of 29 Cats" is a well-written, imagina
