Hardcover. First edition (& 1st printing). Animal sf/mystery novel, sequel to THE TERROR AND THE TORTOISESHELL (2010), set in the future where, two years after an event known as The Terror, humans have been mostly wiped out: ''He is of sf interest specifically for the Benji Spriteman sequence comprising The Terror and the Tortoiseshell (2010) and The Designated Coconut (2012), a noirish detective series set in a Britain transformed suddenly when all animals, suddenly bipedal, take over from Homo sapiens. The protagonist is a transformed cat, whose owner, a former private eye, has gone to ground, along with other surviving humans. Travis is a writer of considerable energy'' (John Clute/Encyclopedia of SF, 4th Edition). ''British author Travis s quirky second Benji Spriteman whodunit (after 2010 s The Terror and the Tortoiseshell) offers a welcome return to a universe where, two years after an event known as the Terror, humans have been mostly wiped out. Abhoring a vacuum, nature has replaced humanity with animals, who have changed form - many walking upright and talking in human language. The altered creatures have filled the void in the workplace as well, taking over the occupations that used to employ people. Spriteman, a cat who has assumed the last name and business of his late human owner, is a 1950s-style hard-bitten PI. Travis shows a deft hand for detail, as shown by the police using a flock of pigeons to mark the outline of a dead body with their droppings'' (Publishers Weekly). Fine copy in pictorial boards, as issued without dustjacket (as new). N° de réf. du vendeur 33566
