    In the third installment of the series, six-clawed hero Spartapuss is horrified to find that the Emperor is planning an invasion of the Land of the Kitons, aka Great Britain. Clawdius, the least likely emperor in Roman history, needs to show his enemies who is boss. While Spartapuss has always wanted to visit his birthplace—famous for its terrible food, evil weather, and the tuneless howling of its savage tribes—he is loath to journey there as part of an invasion. However, he soon finds himself rounded up and forced aboard the first ship in the invasion fleet and part of the landing party that sets out to search for the Kiton Army. Soon captured by two warriors, Spartapuss manages to escape into the woods, where he meets Furg, a young Kiton studying to become a Mewid. After joining her at Mewid training school, Spartapuss realizes he must choose between his new friends and the Emperor. Can the magic of the Mewids help him make the right decision?

  4. 4

    Historically accurate and full of enchanting wordplay, this fanciful tale is a clever, cat-based retelling of the Boudican uprising against the occupying forces of the Roman Empire. Set in the Land of the Kitons, the adventures of the wealthy, six-clawed hero, Spartapuss, are captured through his diary entries. Queen Boudicat—his wife’s aunt—has been cheated out of her kingdom by the Romans. She’s declared war and wishes for Spartapuss to join her rebel army. Warrior queens do not take "No" for an answer, even when it seems impossible for a tiny tribe of Kitons to take on the mighty Feline Empire!
