The Last Fox
About this audiobook
Imagine a world without animals – without the chirping of birds and the buzzing of bees. Only machines and rats, who have survived, fill the silence.
In this bleak future, where the authorities euthanized the last animals nearly a decade ago, seventeen-year-old Paris lives on one of the few remaining farms. Meat comes from laboratories, and the sounds of animals are nothing but a distant memory. It's a quiet life in a deserted village, where only the poor have stayed behind. But when Paris hears a howl one night – a sound that should no longer exist – everything he thought he knew about this world is turned upside down. Owning an animal would not just be illegal, but dangerous, as its worth is beyond measure.
"A story that will let you see animals in a whole new light."
Volume 1
A moving book about the wonders of our world
In his free time, Paris spends his days exploring the abandoned houses in the village, observing the insects (the ones that survived), and selling his blood in the city. Oh, and he races the authorities (on a rusty bike), especially the nasty Schmidt, who seems to have nothing better to do than drive around the district, looking for trouble. This is Paris’ life until, one day, everything changes.
