In this novel, the future Vietnam is called simply Nam, and there is no word for rabbit.

They encounter canine nomads in what was Mongolia, and really exotic animal-peoples in what was Europe and they learn the true history of the world and the apocalypse that destroyed it. In those two, Captain Kirin Wynegarde-Grey, a genetic lion-man (yes, he has a tail) and commander of the Empress’ personal guard in a far-future post-apocalypse dynastic China (with touches of feudal Japan) that has forgotten its past, leads an expedition consisting of his geomancer brother, his snow leopard-woman adjutant, a young tiger-woman scholar, a cheetah-woman alchemist, and a mongrel-man (mixed feline) priest into unknown western lands. ![]() This is Book 3 of the Tails from the Upper Kingdom the direct sequel to To Journey in the Year of the Tiger and To Walk in the Way of Lions. ![]()
