Synopsis
On the jungle planet of Garth, humans and their uplifted chimpanzee allies face invasion by the powerful Gubru, a hostile avian species determined to seize control. Cut off from outside help, a ragtag resistance must use guerrilla tactics, diplomacy, and evolutionary surprises to fight back in a galaxy where patron-client relationships between species define all political power.
