Darkeye
Darkeye Volumes One, Two, and Three are included in this omnibus.
There is a city overrun by every type of wild dog, where mysterious machines pump out meat daily for their hungry mouths, where a pack of painted dogs protect everyone from monsters called hulkers.
Everyone has always had enough food. That is what Mhumhi, a young painted dog, has grown up believing. But Mhumhi is not a member of the pack- as a infant, he was stolen by a domestic dog and adopted into an unlikely litter of all different species. He has grown up half in hiding with his adoptive siblings- a bush dog, a dhole, and an ethiopian wolf.
When their adoptive mother disappears, Mhumhi seeks her out. He finds instead that the last adoptees she brought into their motley family are not dogs at all, but rather a pair of young hulkers. Without the pack’s protection, they will surely be killed by the police- for there have been a rash of disappearances lately, and the culprit is no dog…
Mhumhi only sets out to protect the two small hulkers, but in doing so he begins to uncover not just his mother’s secrets, but the dark backbone of the entire city.

I want my money back, good lord what an awful pile of crap.
The third act is a full load chocking of misanthropy and stupidity to the point that in the epilogue when the guys on the plane/chopper were talking about killing the dogs I was rooting for them because wow...
The cast is completely unlikeable, sociopathic, and misanthropic mouthpieces.
The message the book has is wrong, and the political idea behind it is wrong too and the misanthropy that it seeps doesn't help at all.
But the biggest failure of it all is for the plot of the book to happen, by that I mean the state of the world the characters live in happens, is that every adult human in the world brainfarted, became stupid and decided to make the stupidest solution.
Sorry, but the backstory is too unbelievable and childish, it made the book child scribbles.
Well, only children write grinderp pieces full of erroneous politics, messages and ideologies, believing themselves that are adults.
