Synopsis

In the tradition of H.G. Wells and Aldous Huxley comes a compelling and original novel about a strange new world. A man has come out of jail to find Europe plunged into a perpetual winter. His girlfriend, having died in a mysterious epidemic ravaging the population, has been brought back to life as an experiment in artificial intelligence. He steals her away, and together they hide out while human civilization disintegrates around them...until one morning the police break down their door and command them placed on a small boat and sent out into the Atlantic Ocean. The couple only know that the order came from a mysterious radio signal of uncertain, and non-human, origin. Why have they been summoned and by whom? What will the unlikely passengers find when they arrive? And what is the connection to the endless winter, and the strange fear with which humans are regarding the animals? Clever, cautionary, and absolutely unforgettable, Warriors of the Rainbow incorporates evolutionary theory, animal psychology, brain biology, linguistics and human history into a fascinating fable of competition among the species.
