Publisher's Synopsis
It has been untold years since the
Giants-That-Were disappeared, leaving behind the animals forever changed by
their strange science. Now, granted the gifts of intelligence and
self-awareness, the valiant Hamster Aquatic Mercenaries struggle to keep their
horde alive in the dangerous new world.
In The Underfoot: The Mighty
Deep, H.A.M. has been hired to save their badger allies from dangerous
flooding, but first they'll need new recruits. Only the best of the best can
join the ranks of H.A.M., and the colony's most ambitious young hamster pups
compete for their chance at glory and prestige. Those who succeed, however, soon
discover that life outside their burrow is not the grand adventure they
imagined, but instead find a world of deadly threats and conflicting stories
about their species' origins.
Combining heroic battles, dark
mysteries, and heartfelt friendships, The Underfoot: The Mighty Deep is
the beginning of an epic sci-fi trilogy chronicling the animal kingdoms left to
rise and fall in the absence of the Giants-That-Were. When the hamsters learn
the truth about their past, will they find the strength to overcome the forces
aligning against them, or will their tiny horde be wiped from the
earth?
