This is furry fiction at its finiest. Kidd had a love of epic-scale battles and portrays the most fey, appealing characters one can imagine. If you can just get past the fact that they're humanised animals, you'll find this book exceptionally enjoyable. However, one cannot ignore the fact that Kidd clearly finds womenly curves combined with animal faces appealing, and this may strike some readers as a little odd-ball. He also engages in some unconventional relationships - namely, polygamy, but that sits fine with me and fine too with the Arabic feel of the setting. There is nothing wrong with a sheikh having many wives, after all! This is far more polished then any of the vanity-published Furry fiction I have read - unlike most of those (male) authors, Kidd clearly has experience with females (he's married with children) and thus his story is all the more convincing because of it.

Some years have passed since the events of "Fangs of K'Aath" and things are going fairly well for our three young lovers - Shah Raschid, Queen Sandhri and Queen Yariim. The kingdom os Osra has become a place of peace and prosperity. But danger threatens. Heralded by the arrival of a young Panda Sage from the Far East, Sixteen Volume Meng by name, naive and hopeful in nature. He comes first to bring the wisdom of his learnings, but also brings with him terrible tidings.

An army is descending upon the civilised world, brutal and cruel it wipes out all in its path, destroying people and scarring the land. Led by a vicious leader, and haunted by dark spirits, it will stop at nothing, growing and growing and destroying until there is nothing left. What can a scholar prince, a dancer and a fey story-teller possibly do against its fell tide? Well, you'll have to read it and see!

"Fangs of K'Aath" the first volume is currently only available either second hand or on Lulu.com, "Guardians of Light" is available through United Publishers.
He's a good chap, is Kidd, when I discovered my book was misprinted (two of the three final chapters missing) he emailed them to me so I could read the Epic Battle Scene!

His books are not cheap, but they are well worth it - especially if you like epic fantasy battles and are furry-inclined. His characters are a delight to behold - I defy you not to love Sandhri with her straightforward, but beautiful, view on love and relationships. And life in general! ( )
