By the end of the fifth millennium AD, the homunculi created by the human species - clones, cross-breeds, fighting-machines and artificial intelligences of all descriptions - outnumbered humanity by more than thirteen to But even so, there were no creations like those of Peking.

[CJ · Rating 3 out of 5]

In the Year of the Cat is another solid entry into the Faction Paradox audio adventures. The plot has some interesting world building that added to my enjoyment of the current tale, and the overarching FP saga. While, overall, the plot is slower, it kept me engaged throughout.

The voice acting, and sound design, is excellent in this release.
