Set in a savage future world, Claws of Fury is an exciting tale of conflict between the cat-like Katzers and the dogs of war known as the Mangies. Teenage Katzer Ninelives and his crew take on the might of the Mangies, with Ninelives only finally prevailing after a mano-a-mano fight to the death with the fearsome Warrod the Cur. Claws of Fury is ideal reading for boys and young adults, with strong female characters that make it appealing to girls too. It is the first part of the Claws Trilogy, with the exciting adventures of Ninelives and his crew continuing through into the second and third parts of the Trilogy, Claws of Thunder and Claws of Vengeance.
