Humanimals: The Beginning of Entropy – Paperback

What if the monster you are hunting is just the reflection of your own broken soul?

A catastrophic earthquake rocks Istanbul. An air-gapped laboratory is breached, and a lethal immune-collapsing pathogen vanishes into the shadows. Behind the impending apocalypse stands Zero-a ruthless mastermind who views human existence as a cold, deterministic game of chess, driven by a vendetta to reduce civilization to ash.

To stop him, an altered strike team known as the Humanimals rises from the fringes of society:

• Catman – Haunted by isolation, severed loyalties, and the ghosts of a bloody past he cannot outrun.
• Dogman – Fiercely loyal, driven by feral instinct, yet torn apart by family secrets and exile.
• Leo – The stoic leader carrying the heavy burden of lost kin and the mantle of GNG.
• Lilith – Deadly, calculating, and grappling with the demonized identity the world forced upon her.

Tracking Zero’s trail along the rails from the ruins of Istanbul to the barren plateaus of Gobustan-the ancient Land of Fire-the squad steps straight into a meticulously choreographed slaughterhouse.

Yet the deadliest blow Zero deals isn’t delivered with blades, bullets, or bio-weapons. It is the truth.

As dark revelations shatter their purpose and scatter the pack to the winds, Catman uncovers a lost letter left behind in the burning debris. In its raw confessions of inadequacy, existential despair, and unrequited love, he discovers a horrifying reality: the villain terrorizing humanity was forged in the exact same furnace of trauma as himself.

From subterranean laboratory traps to the feral shores of Aoshima Island, Humanimals is a dark, gripping psychological sci-fi thriller exploring vengeance, manufactured destiny, and the thin, fragile line between becoming a savior and becoming a monster.
