Wayne says “A very cool world where science has maybe run a-bit-more-mok than it should have. The animals are all really strange but familiar and there’s a cool story about people that depend on one another in there to boot. “
I agree that this is an exceptional book and should not be overlooked.
I had the pleasure of meeting the creator Rob Anderson at Heroes Con a few weeks back and as it turns out I became the first person to ever buy his book – the first of many. In meeting Rob I started to get nervous because he was such a nice and genuine guy with a very exuberant personality – I was worried that if I found that I didn’t like his book – I wouldn’t want to tell him. Well once I started reading I soon found that I had nothing to worry about, Mr. Anderson has created a believable and rich world and crafted characters (including a cute Panda Dog) that I really enjoyed reading about. You will be doing yourself a favor by checking out this book.

Wayne — thanks so much for making my Preview book a “Pick of the Week”! Much appreciated!!
Martin — thanks to you, too, for your kind words! I’m likewise really enjoying your book, Arthur: The Legend Continues. Great stuff for anyone who is a fan of the King Arthur mythos. And, yes, you are indeed the very first purchaser ever of Animal Control: Special Creatures Unit — thanks!
