Publisher's summary

The war with no name rages on, setting the world on fire. Humanity faces extinction at the hands of the Colony, a race of intelligent ants seeking to overthrow the humans and establish a new order. To achieve this, the ants use their strange technology to transform the surface animals into highly evolved killing machines who rise up and murder their oppressors.

The bobcat Culdesac is among the fiercest warriors that the Colony's experiment has produced. Driven by revenge, and notorious for his ability to hunt humans in the wild, Culdesac is the perfect leader of the Red Sphinx, an elite unit of feline assassins. With the humans in retreat, the Red Sphinx seizes control of the remote village of Milton. But holding the town soon becomes a bitter struggle of wills. While the humans threaten a massive counterattack, the townsfolk protect a dark secret that could tip the balance of the war. For the sadistic Culdesac, violence is the answer to everything. But this time, he'll need more than his claws and his guns, for what he discovers in Milton will upend everything he believes, everything he fought for, and everything he left behind.

Relentless, bloody, and unforgiving, Culdesac is the story of an antihero with no soul to lose, carving a path of destruction that consumes the innocent and the guilty alike.

Read Mort(e) fist

This is a great Segway into a very interesting character from the series. We get to know and understand what motivates Culdesac’s seemingly merciless behavior. We get to see what would or could sway him from imitating the cold behavior of The Colony.

Worth the read

I loved part 1 and this is amazing. It adds to the overall story. You get to learn why culdesac is so daggone devoted to the Queen and super smart.

Brothels, coffee, love and then there’s culdesac

I’m a big fan of Morte and Darc. They are unique stories. Unfolding them is Fantastic. This novella digs deeper into the town where there’s coffee, brothels, love and a new world. But not the one culdesac expects.

Am thorough enjoying Repino’s world

Liked this one even better than Mort(e). Looking forward to number three, which I’m starting…now.

Great Novella, Tough Voice Acting

I genuinely love both this book and performer. However, there were several character choices that made specifically the male characters difficult and, in the case of an elderly chihuahua, particularly painful to listen to. The author went for loud, pitchy, and scratchy towns that got loud enough, louder than his narration tones, to hurt in my ear buds. Overall, this novella is a great exploration of the loss of love and the cost of war, but the performance pulled me out multiple times in its last couple chapters.

Loved it!

Great narrator- which makes the story even better. I loved the unusual plot. Great story!

great!

this narrator is amazing!! I enjoyed the chihuahua the most of the characters in this book

an outstanding addition for a complex character

The performance makes this an astounding audiobook. Each and every character has a distinct accent and tone and given most are animals that's impressive. The story itself is important, interesting, and full of excellent details to immerse readers fully. I have not been invested in a book series like this in years.

interesting but leaves you wanting more

Loved the first book, and this follow up is okay. Wish it was much longer and included the end from part 1 from culdesac.

I loved this book

good book gives more back story to the book Mort(e). if you haven't read Mort(e) you must before you read this one. its shockingly mesmerizing and will keep you hooked . no questions this is a goo book series.
