Immediate future science fiction involving gifted cats and humans saving the world from imminent oblivion (don't they always?). Most of the action takes place in Strasbourg (France) and Karlsruhe (Germany). If you happen to suffer from confinementosis, this dime novel delivers a dose of ersatz tourism: You'll probably never get to visit the Franco-German borderlands for real, why not do it now, virtually, and watch two fine young people struggling against many odds.
