Synopsis: “ROAR Volume 1 is the first in a serial anthology of anthropomorphic fiction from prominent writers in the 'furry' community, showcasing fine examples of anthro sci-fi. While 'anthropomorphics' is rarely regarded as a genre in its own right and often relegated to comparisons with Disney characters and 'funny animals' in television and newspaper cartoons, ROAR aims to showcase the maturity and sophistication of furry fiction. Genetically engineered hybrids who are given slavish tasks by their human masters, alien races that appear curiously similar to species on our own world -- and even stories that make no attempt to give a reason for the characters to be walking, talking, suit-wearing dogs and cats and marmosets, but use their species' more recognizable physical and social traits to craft very unusual stories.” (publisher's synopsis)
