Rats, Bats & Vats

Rating:
Summary: Hooray for underdogs and misfits
Review: What do Shakespeare, Irish freedom fighters and wet lettuces all have in common? Nothing? Well until I read this novel I would have agreed. In this case they are just a few of the many ingredients that go to make Rats, Bats and Vats an excellent read.

Drunken, lecherous cyber-intelligent rats with a fondness for shakespearean insults; fanatical cyber-intelligent bats with a penchant for blowing things up; a vat-grown human and an heiress. Not the most likely of comrades. And yet when thrown together under trench warfare conditions, the result is an enthralling mix of realism, pathos, gritty humour and riveting, fast paced action. A most refreshing change.

Summary: Romance, Mayhem and Humor
Review: What more could you want? The heroes are heroic, albeit somewhat reluctant, the heroine is vulnerable but staunch and the villains are villainous. Lots of fun. Read it all the way through in one sitting and enjoyed it thoroughly..
