Humans have left Earth, but the animals that remain keep their memory alive through myth--as Old Devils, Skinless Ones, Companions. A crashed spaceship leaves one young human survivor; three loners (bear Casseomae, rat Dumpster, and dog P) help guide him toward safety that may not exist. A gracefully executed combination of sci-fi and animal fantasy, told through sympathetic but believably wild protagonists.
