What if our solar system was quarantined because no other creatures in the universe actually consumed dead organics? Some creatures survive off of solar radiation, others photosynthesis or absorbing nutrients from soil. Imagine the horror if we ever figured out how to leave our planet... after all, we are the monsters of the universe. At the dawn of our greatest age when interstellar travel becomes possible the Earth is destroyed by creatures known as Talecians, distant relations to our bovines. One Earth vessel escapes, manned by a motley promotional crew. They spend the rest of their days running from the pursuing cattle who want nothing more than to exterminate the last of humankind. C.O.W. is a science fiction satire that examines our role in the universe. Based on real research, Thomax Green's vision even challenges readers with an unexpected explanation for the Big Bang. All of which will have you laughing so long you'll have to pick the bugs out of your teeth like a grizzly biker.
