Longtusk (Book Synopsis) by Stephen Baxter Buy from Amazon.comPage 1 of 1 Even as a young calf, Longtusk understood the hardships the few remaining of
his ancient kind had encountered when the glaciers retreated and grassy forests
stole over the vast tundra the herds called home. Worst of all was when the
Fireheads came -- cruel, two-legged beasts who kill for pleasure. At a tender
age, Longtusk became their prisoner -- hobbled, abused, and stripped of his
freedom. But through toil and terror, Longtusk never forgot his Clan -- and he
learned crucial, intimate knowledge of the Fireheads' ways, though at a
terrible price. Now the time is rapidly approaching when he will have to clash
with those who seek to destroy every living trace of his proud breed. And
Longtusk must not shun the twisted path in front of him or what he is destined
to become: the greatest hero of them all. Buy from Amazon.com
