Doctor Rat won the World Fantasy Award. In the annals of American literature, there has never been a character quite like Doctor Rat, PhD. A survivor of the most refined scientific experiments, now removed from the maze, he has become a valued and productive member of the academic community. When he must administer a lethal dose, he comforts his fellow rats with his compassionate slogan: "Death is freedom." But everything changes when animals worldwide begin to rebel, refusing to accept their proper places in the natural order of things: as test subjects, pets, or food. And only Doctor Rat has the courage to defend mankind from the ungrateful animal kingdom. Doctor Rat is a sly and stylish indictment of fanaticism in mice and men.
