About This Item
Del Rey, 2010, 2010. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. Octavo, hardcover, fine in VG orange dj with 2" tape on spine. 236 pp. A barque Cat, Chester, learns to exchange thoughts with his human friend, Jubal. Other cats soon gain the same ability. Behind the seeming miracle is a mysterious cat named Pshaw-Ra, who possesses knowledge and technology far beyond anything the Barque Cats-or their humans-have ever seen. When fear of a virulent plague leads the government first to quarantine and then to kill all animals suspected of infection, Pshaw-Ra-with the help of Chester, Jubal, and the crew of the starship Ranzo -activates a "mousehole" in space that carries the refugees to a place of Pshaw-Ra's home planet of Mau, where godlike cats are worshiped by human slaves.
