Beskrivelse af Heroes Borne
Imagine all animals having the power of speech; species cooperating with each other to build rich societies; others equally determined to tear them down! This is a tale of such a world, in an 'hour of need.'Great burdens may be by unlikely heroes borne. And few heroes are more 'unlikely' than the arrogant young Donkey who hopes to tread in the hoofprints of his Grandsire, the illustrious Donkie Otie. Yet the fates have decreed that the naïve young Jack is destined to save the One True Realm from a devastating and ruinous war . . . or die trying! Can he do it on his own? Obviously not!After an absence of ten generations, an Immortal Guardian has been called back. The Guardian (resembling an enormous panda and possessed of two distinct personalities) grudgingly takes up the burden of keeping the young fool in one piece long enough for him to be thrown into the fray. Along the way they assemble a small cast of supporting characters: A tormented three-legged Chihuahua with an agenda of their own; an amoral, cynical Japanese Macaque; an orphaned young 'bald ape' with strong survival skills and a powerful female gorilla with a mysterious past. The story moves through a world that is very different from and yet uncomfortably similar to our own. The narrative can be whimsical, funny, touching, ironic, heartbreaking and (occasionally) a little bit romantic as it races to a dramatic and exciting conclusion.
