Synopsis:
Heroes don't always look the
part. He was a tery, a lean, bearish creature with no name. The human
soldiers left dead. Just another dumb animal on their extermination
list. But he didn't die. Animals weren't the only beings on the list.
Certain humans were marked for extinction as well. A fugitive band found
him and brought him back from the brink. He became their pet, their
mascot. And still he had no name. He was simply "the tery." He soon
learned that these were no ordinary humans, and learned too that he was
no ordinary tery. The humans had no idea that the creature they fed
table scraps and patted on the head would soon turn their world upside
down and change it forever. By then he had a name. THE TERY - A
beauty-and-the-beast fable that only F. Paul Wilson could tell, full of
wonder and horror, brimming with strange landscapes and hideous
mutations from science run amok. An unforgettable tale of the extremes
of the human spirit--of bravery and depravity, of innocence and evil.
This edition features original illustrations by Stephen Fabian.
