This World Fantasy Award winner in the vein of Animal Farm delves
into a lab worthy of a mad Nazi scientist-but run by a brilliantly
sadistic rodent. In the annals of American literature, there has
never been a character quite like Doctor Rat, PhD. From one of the
most indispensable storytellers in speculative fiction, this biting
satire introduces a narrator of learned charm and humor, and a
twisted logic that is absolutely chilling. Doctor Rat is a credit
to his species. A survivor of the most refined scientific
experiments, now removed from the maze, he has become a valued and
productive member of the academic community. When he must
administer a lethal dose, he comforts his fellow rats with his
compassionate slogan: "Death is freedom." But everything changes
when animals worldwide begin to rebel, refusing to accept their
proper places in the natural order of things: as test subjects,
pets, or food. And only Doctor Rat has the courage to defend
mankind from the ungrateful animal kingdom. Hailed by the Los
Angeles Times as "dazzlingly original" and "occasionally quite
beautiful," Doctor Rat is a sly and stylish indictment of
fanaticism in mice and men. "A truly imaginative impresario . . .
[Doctor Rat] teases your conscience with educated wit and versatile
improvisation, not to mention the casual flick of the tail about to
be cut off." -Kirkus Reviews
