Corr Syl the Terrible is set on Earth, but in an alternate reality where sentient animals have evolved alongside Humans. The Tsaeb are descended from various creatures and possess unique abilities that far outstrip Human capabilities, including the power to heal and adapt as well as the drive to live in harmony with nature.
In the wake of the July war, which shattered the long-standing peace between Humans and Tsaeb, Corr Syl questions his role as a warrior, unsure if he can overcome his Tsaeb instincts for the preservation of life.
He is left little time to wonder when his friend and fellow warrior Rhya Bright is betrayed by the lynx descendent Able Remington. Corr tracks Rhya to the heart of the enemy Taoso nation ruled by the ruthless Minister Ya Zhōu, a Human who commands a secret network of Tsaeb spies and assassins. Reactivating an ancient warcraft known as Z99, Corr sets out to save Rhya, who has her own plans for escape. As he scours the planet and sees the destruction caused by carelessness and selfishness, Corr realizes that he wants to be more than a fighter. Corr Syl the Terrible is the story of a brave young warrior who must decide if he is more than the swords he carries.
“Corr Syl the Terrible completes the introduction to the Tsaeb civilization that began with the novel Corr Syl the Warrior,” says Rogers. “Terrible ends with a challenge that alters the future of Earth forever. I believe readers will like where we’re going next.”
