S.T. is a domesticated crow living his best life in Seattle — Cheetos, insults traded with wild crows, and the company of his owner Big Jim. When Big Jim's eyeball falls out, S.T. reluctantly accepts that something has gone very wrong with humanity. With only Dennis the bloodhound by his side and a knowledge of the world built entirely from television, S.T. ventures into a zombie-infested Seattle to find help, communicate with the local wildlife, and somehow keep the human species from going extinct.

S.T. is arrogant, funny, deeply loyal, and surprisingly wise beneath his bluster — a crow whose identity is split between his feral nature and the human culture that raised him. His narrative voice is one of the most celebrated in recent comic fiction: irreverent, full of pop culture references, and capable of genuine emotional depth when readers least expect it.

Across two books, S.T.'s mission expands from saving his immediate family to protecting the last surviving human on the continent — a young woman named Dee who may hold the key to humanity's future. The second book takes the series into a broader exploration of the animal kingdom's adaptation to a post-human world, with a new cast of animal characters and the profound, poignant question of what it means to be part of nature versus apart from it.
