Pyramid Scheme
Well, yes, they've got Medea and Arachne and the Sphinx on their side (both Sphinxes, actually — the Greek version as well as the Egyptian). And at least some of the Egyptian gods seem friendly. But that can be a very mixed blessing, to say the least. Oh, and whatever you do—don't mention dwarf-tossing. Enthusiastic Praise for the Authors’ Hit Novel, Rats, Bats & Vats: "Space opera grows fur and wings in this jape by two accomplished writers. . . . Politically correct? C’mon! Great fun? Ah, yes."—Booklist ". . . the military SF plot is peppered with its share of Dirty Dozen-esque cliffhangers . . . the sharpest moments in this giddy entertainment are those where the rodents blithely skewer human mores." —Publishers Weekly "Noirish comedy alien shoot-‘em-up. . . . Inventive and often smile-worthy. . . ." —Kirkus Reviews ". . . thoroughly enlivened with tweaked and twisted cliches, explosive military action, and plenty of interspecies banter to keep things fun."—Locus Cover Art by Bob Eggleton |
