What's with these anthromorphic beings? What we need are not cat people but dog people. That is what was wrong with planet Pellicia, they needed dog people to help fight there way out.As I was reading the novel I always thought it was going to get better, but it just slowed down. It was as if the cast of Cats were captured and placed on the set of Battlefield Earth.The ways in which Simba described the characters was disturbing; I could care less for the detailed descriptions. The story needed more developement.There were good visual effects on the cover and on the back cover.In all the book was excruciatingly long and borring.
