Heres Pauls review…
You want to know the future?
I cant tell you what your lucky lottery numbers will be, but I have seen what befalls mankind.
A time of terrible turmoil.
Nothing is as you remember.
Humans are scarce and beasts of all kinds walk and talk the Earth.
It will be a terrible price that will be paid.
Lives will be lost and there will be plenty of furry bloodshed.

Theres a social structure to this savage world that is far from cutesy.
And he also lights an unpredictable fuse which offers explosive surprises en route and that includes the characterisation.
Frequently, seeming villains change their colours and become allies.
On other occasions, the heroes dont always survive every situation and many fall in battle brutally or nobly.
Meltdown Manis an overlooked classic that still fights tooth and claw for futuristic adventure.
Meltdown Manis out now andavailable from the Den Of Geek Store.
