MOST ANTICIPATED by Bustle • "Sci-Fi Thriller" recommendation from Buzzfeed • An Indie Next PickIn this stunning follow-up to Hollow Kingdom and Seattle Times/Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association bestseller, the animal kingdom's "favorite apocalyptic hero"is back with a renewed sense of hope for humanity, ready to take on a world ravaged by a viral pandemic (Helen Macdonald).Once upon an apocalypse, there lived an obscenely handsome American crow named S.T. . . . When the world last checked-in with its favorite Cheeto addict, the planet had been overrun by flesh-hungry beasts, and nature had started re-claiming her territory from humankind. S.T., the intrepid crow, alongside his bloodhound-bestie Dennis, had set about saving pets that had become trapped in their homes after humanity went the way of the dodo. That is, dear reader, until S.T. stumbled upon something so rare—and so precious—that he vowed to do everything in his power to safeguard what could, quite literally, be humanity's last hope for survival. But in a wild world plagued by prejudiced animals, feather-raising environments, new threats so terrifying they make zombies look like baby bunnies, and a horrendous dearth of cheesy snacks, what's a crow to do? Why, wing it on another big-hearted, death-defying adventure, that's what! Joined by a fabulous new cast of animal characters, S.T. faces many new challenges plus his biggest one yet: parenthood.Includes a Reading Group Guide.

"A thrilling conclusion to the duology that had me both aching with sadness and on the edge of my seat. I loved the characters and how the events unfolded. However, I was a little disappointed about how some themes that I loved from the first book were dropped, such as the domestic pets sticking together. ST’s connection to them was no more, which was a bit sad. Still, a great book I enjoy from front to back cover."

"Do you ever want to just lie down and Think About Stuff after reading a book? Because that's what I'm doing after this bad boy.<br/>I may also want to weep a little but don't we all.<br/><br/>S.T's parenting adventures are as wild as ever, and we meet and love so many creatures on the road that you better be ready to let a lot of animals inside your heart as you read this. Such amazing protagonists, animals, every book revolving around them always makes me giddy (And more prone to crying).<br/><br/>Just as good as the first one, this made for one hell of a read. <br/>(Fun fact: There's nothing better than slowly deciphering who's on the cover as you read along the story.)"
