War breaks out. This time, nature fights back...

A failed effort to weaponize animals awakens their intellects. The military responds by creating death camps to exterminate infected animals. Moon Shadow, an Arctic white wolf, unites with White Claw, a polar bear king, to form Animus Nor, the first animal republic, to negotiate peace. The uneasy peace is broken with the rise of Azaz, lord of the grizzly bears. Azaz attacks human settlements, considering humans an invasive species that wreaks havoc on bears and the environment. A world war breaks out as animals face humans and each other to see who will become the true apex species.

Will humanity win, or will nature triumph in the end?

My Review: 

War Of The Animals (Book 1): The Shut Face Of Thunder is the first book I have had the pleasure of reading from Jonathan Decoteau. I thought it was a pretty good story to read. It was full of adventure and action with a unique plot and writing style. I liked it. 

I am giving War Of The Animals (Book 1): The Shut Face Of Thunder four stars. I believe fans of fantasy fiction will enjoy it. I am curious to see what happens next and where Jonathan Decoteau will take his characters to, in the next installment of the series, War Of The Animals (Book 2): Cry Of The Gods. 

I received a paperback copy of Jonathan Decoteau’s War Of The Animals (Book 1): The Shut Face Of Thunder from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion. 

 

 

About Jonathan Decoteau:

I am a nature lover who lives and teaches in beautiful, pastoral New England.

The War of the Animals books were inspired by the 2020 pandemic lockdown. I remember driving by animals that freely roamed the streets after we were in lockdown (I was getting groceries—not ignoring state mandates—I promise!). I felt for the first time how much the animals were in lockdown whenever we weren’t. That inspired the idea of a variety of animals having voices and speaking up for the earth. I started writing the books shortly thereafter.

I write because I love doing so. I’ve been published by a small press and a few literary journals. Before self-publishing the War of the Animals books, I wrote The Naked Earth, named 2008 Fiction Book of the Year by The Online Journal of News and Current Affairs. I also received a Writer’s Notes Magazine general fiction book award for my stories in Sing of the High Country.
