It's what I'd do 24/7 if I could. Read books, then talk about them....

Tor Books Green City Wars by Adrian Tchaikovsky

Reading Green City Wars (Tor Books) is like slashing your way through a verdant jungle of words and concepts - somewhat familiar and somewhat alien - that twine and wrap around the story and characters. Adrian Tchaikovsky doesn't stop and wait for you to catch up. You are dropped into it; knee deep in the lovable rascality of raccoon Skotch and a host of fellow genetically engineered animal working stiffs. Their creation and reason for being all going on behind the leafy green scenes make possible the comfortable and environmentally friendly urban human life. If we only knew what the multitude of anarchist amphibians, territorial squirrel gangsters, genius mice and fey feline and stout assassins were up to.... Thank goodness for Rule One to keep everything in order...
