About Iron Cage

Thousands of years in the future, a simple tribe of intelligent animals wanders the earth with a young boy, Jony, in their care, until the landing of a spaceship shatters their peaceful lives. Using his wits against sophisticated weapons, Jony defends the People - the gentle tribe of animals - and faces the conflict of his allegiance to his protectors and his need to be among his own kind. With ironic understatement, the author points out the foolish and even dangerous distinctions we draw between humans and animals.
