Unfortunately, this plan is immediately met with opposition and numerous challenges. So, armed with his fond memories of Big Jim and an idealistic view of the future, S.T.

In Dee, he sees a glimmer of hope for humans (or MoFos, as that was the word Big Jim had used all the time to refer to other people) and perhaps an opportunity to one day bring back humanity’s past glory. still feels a desperate longing for the life he once shared with his owner Big Jim, back when they were still surrounded by the comforts and luxuries of civilization-among them Cheetos and TV.

The author does make some attempt to remind readers of prior events or to rehash a few concepts here or there, but for the most part, Feral Creatures is meant to be experienced as a direct sequel.

If you’re sitting there thinking, hey, this sounds a little different…well, you’ve got that right.īut obviously, if you’re read the first book, you already know all this. which is short for Shit Turd-I kid you not.
