What happens when genetically enhanced lab mice learn to talk and use their opposable thumbs? Rodent Dorothy Mustt and her fellow companions do just this in Angus Brownfield’s Prime Directive. Managing to escape from the lab before they are euthanized, the mice scatter to form three different clans: a group in a nearby neighborhood, a group in the inner walls of the laboratory, and a group at the sea shore. How do the clans survive and thrive in the world of humans? How do the mice form their own moral code as they grapple with love, loyalty, betrayal and their genetically engineered intelligence? Learn how a crippled rodent with a big heart takes on the human world in Prime Directive.
