Corr Syl the Terrible
Corr Syl the Terrible by Garry Rogers is a young-adult science-fiction novel that is set on Earth, but in an alternate reality where all animals are intelligent. Older than the Human species, most animal species have evolved far beyond Human abilities. They have learned to heal their bodies, adapt their shape, and live in harmony with nature. They call themselves Tsaeb (silent T, long a).
This Sci-Fi story for teens takes place in the wake of the July war that destroyed the long-standing peace between Humans and Tsaeb, the sentient descendents of animals on Earth, As the story begins, Corr Syl the rabbit warrior questions his place in the world. He longs to run away from the killing and explore the Earth, but a desperate call interrupts his plans. Unidentified Tsaeb traitors have kidnapped Rhya Bright, his friend, fellow warrior—and secret crush. Corr springs into action, tracking down the lynx descendent Able Remington, who betrayed Rhya to protect his own kidnapped family. Able denies any involvement and seems to have fooled everyone, except Corr Syl.
Corr sets out to find Rhya, who has been transported by helicopter. In desperation, he locates and commandeers an ancient warcraft from a nearby museum. Z99, as the ship introduces itself, is sentient and constructed with fantastic technology borne from theories on dark matter and imaginary relationships. The ship proves an invaluable asset as Corr’s journey takes him to Xi'ou, the capital of the Taoso nation. Though ostensibly ruled by the Emperor, the nation’s true power lies in the hands of Ya Zhōu, the Human Minister who commands a network of Tsaeb assassins and spies. His second-in-command is General Yang, a fellow Human under the complete control of an ambitious black widow spider named Lactella. Together, they plan to rule the world through military might.
Though he began his mission alone, Corr meets unexpected allies like the young Cai family, who want to see Ya Zhōu deposed for the return of true peace and freedom. When Corr tracks Rhya to Zhōu’s secret headquarters hidden inside a volcano, he realizes at last that he cannot do it alone. He calls for help from his former battle group, including his best friend Allysen Olykden, while he turns over responsibility for the greater Human problem to his mentor, Halbert Sims. Together, the battle group descends into the heart of the volcano, determined to save their missing friend Rhya, who has been making her own preparations for escape. Corr Syl the Terrible is the riveting tale of a young warrior’s journey to become something more than the swords on his back.

I should have given this book five stars; I should have commended the author for his message that is so close to my personal beliefs, but if I did my review wouldn’t be entirely honest because whilst the novel portrayed some interesting ideas, the writing was generally weak. I feel bad for saying so, but the novel just wasn’t that interesting.
It started off quite well. The protagonist’s friend was stolen from a bear hanging out of helicopter, which was quite exciting. Corr Syl endeavoured to rescue her from some nasty people who wanted to eradicate animals that showed signs of intelligence. By doing this the author questioned whether, animals are actually intelligent or not.
However, in spite of the underlined message the novel itself felt quite flat. It isn’t particularly bad, but isn’t something that would leave you thinking about it for long. The characters were not very well rounded or interesting; they just seemed quite basic. In addition, whilst the idea is good toward the end it seemed like the author had run out of steam as one chapter was only a paragraph long. I only recommend this to environmentalists not those looking for a good story.
I won this here on goodreads.

I won Corr Syl The Terrible by Garry Rogers through Goodreads First Reads Giveaways. I decided to read Corr Syl The Warrior first, which is the first book in the series,even though it is not necessary to read the books in order as Corr Syl The Terrible recaps the events that happen in the first installment.Corr Syl is a Tsaeb rabbit warrior in a future world where animals are more intelligent than humans. I enjoyed the environmental themes throughout the book and the story behind the character Lactella, the Black Widow spider.This is a very thought provoking and creative book.

The plot:
Corr Syl a tsaeb warrior who's friend Rhya Bright have been kidnapped by some humans. But they are unaware of his abilities. So there's this action packed chase by Corr on a mysterious old warship from a museum to save his secret crush Rhya.
My views:
I enjoyed reading corr syl the terrible but since I've not read Corr syl the warrior my interest kept flickering due to the inability to understand some things. This book is fast-paced and the technology and development of Tsaeb warriors is brilliantly cool. I have given this book 4 stars because of the characters and the underlying message of save environment.
So basically This book is recommended but not before reading corr syl the warrior
And oh...I recieved this book in a goodreads giveaway.

I won this book in a giveaway in exchange for an honest review.
Personally, I found this book pretty amusing. The only downside was that I probably didn't catch all the references, not having read the prequel to this book. However, the author's imaginative plot and description of events caught my fancy. Very well written book, and the sci-fi in it is just next level. I'd definitely recommend the book to my friends!

My rating: ★ ★ ★ ☆ (3.5) I liked it a lot
The Corr Syl series is set on Earth in a very distant future, where all surviving intelligent animal species (Tsaeb) have evolved and become humanoid. They keep humans in check (preferably through non-violent means) to ensure the preservation of the planet, which had previously seen a long era of war and had been ravaged by pollution. Tsaeb are far superior to humans in intelligence and physical characteristics, and, most importantly, they are in tune with nature and each other.
The aim of the series is undoubtedly to raise awareness about current environmental issues. The author is a very active environmentalist and he is very clear in expressing his opinions on the current situation on our planet from the offset:
"Corr Syl the Terrible" is the second book in the series, and its story continues from the previous novel, "Corr Syl the Warrior". Author Garry Rogers goes to great effort to allow readers to enjoy this piece as a stand-alone novella by providing us with|:
"What Came Before": one paragraph to set the scene;
"If You Haven't Read Corr Syl the Warrior": a short catch up of the series premise, settings, events and protagonists;
"Appendix. People and Places: a full list of all characters and locations, with Mandarin Chinese pronunciation tips.
"Afterward": a short article that ties his fictional future world to current environmental issues and concerns, and the author's own "Rebel Mouse" climate news newsletter.
The third person narration follows the various main characters: Rhya, Corr, the human Ya Zhōu and the black widow Lactella - some bugs are also very intelligent in the future.
The story is very imaginative and fast paced, with political intrigue, the quest for power, treachery, mysterious technology, humour and friendship. As well as AhLatin, a simple made-up language!
The main characters are well developed and likeable, being very noble of spirit. Although there are clear pointers to a sequel, this episode concludes fully and satisfactorily, with no cliff-hangers.
I really loved the two location maps that were included for the Wycliff District and Ya Zhōu Island.
Unfortunately the first third of the book was a real struggle for me as I was overwhelmed by all of the unusual names which I simply could not remember (a common issue I have with Sci-Fi and Fantasy titles). I would suggest you familiarise yourself with the Appendix beforehand.
I also feel that, in order to fully appreciate the world created by Garry Rogers, the series should be read in order, as all of the main characters were in the first book and a lot of their development would have happened.
As a point of interest the author took inspiration from and paid homage to Edgar Rice Burroughs' "Tarzan the Terrible" (1921), the eighth book in the series, where Tarzan embarks on a journey to Pal-ul-don ("Land of Men") to rescue Jane from her kidnappers. The indigenous people, who capture Tarzan, are so impressed with his skills and resilience that they name him Tarzan-Jad-Guru ("Tarzan the Terrible"). This book also contained a detailed map of the valley and a glossary of the local language.
Finally a spaceship in Donald A. Wollheim's "Across Time: Quest in the Year One Million" (published under the pseudonym "David Grinnell" in 1957) and its EPL ("Ever Perfect Lieutenant") were behind the very special sentient ship Z99 featured in Corr Syl the Terrible.

"Rhya left for the Continental Center to help correct a Human defect that limits intelligence."
"Rhya scanned the food and ate the items containing the fewest toxins. The water was a stew of lead, arsenic, antibiotics, and hormone disrupters, but she drank and spent a few minutes isolating the poisons."
"Katydids weren't food. Even though unintelligent animals were sometimes eaten, calling them food was horrid and stupid. Anyone who ate creatures with feelings should themselves be shot"

Corr Syl the Terrible by Garry Rodgers is a captivating tale about the battles between sentient and intelligent animals and the human race. Taking place on Earth, the plot focuses on Corr Syl, as he discovers that his beloved Rhya has been taken captive by the Tsaeb (the aforementioned sentient animals) and is being held captive.
Corr Syl the Terrible is brilliant in its creativity and imagination. Technology and animals that are both alive is an interesting idea and presents thought provoking questions about what being alive really means. Corr Syl was a compelling character and I found that I really liked him. Too often in young adult fiction, the heroes are whiny and full of angst. As similar as that may be to today's disenchanted youth, you don't see me wanting to spend much time with said teenagers, so it was a relief that Corr Syl had much more important things on his plate. He had the heart of a hero and it was fun to see him interact with the various foes and companions that he encountered along the way.
What I enjoyed the most was probably the political machinations of the plot! It was cold and calculating in some instances, while other characters ran hot-blooded and I loved getting a chance to try to experience the action of the book.
The setting was cool as well. It's clear that Rodgers took his time to craft the world, but that does lend itself to a great amount of terminology and you really need to understand the politics and caste/class systems involved to really know what's happening. Although taking place on Earth, it's obviously a far different one than you or I inhabit today. What I wouldn't give if my cat could talk to me ... but then again, if he ended up going to war with me I wouldn't know what to do. Garry Rodgers has created a really interesting world and book. I would be thrilled to continue the journey with him and Corr Syl in later books!

A really unique book involving a theme that many of us have at least thought about once. What if animals were highly intelligent? The storyline is very appealing and conveys a positive message for teens. The intense struggle between the factions has really been enjoyable to read and the characters are awe inspiring. Definitely a well written and highly imaginative tale that will appeal to teens and adults alike. Highly recommended.

3.5 stars
“Corr Syl the Terrible” by Garry Rogers is a young adult science fiction and fantasy novel that is set on a version of Earth that includes animals who are intelligent and known as Tsaeb. Two of these beings are Corr Syl and Rhya Bright, warriors descended from rabbits, who are human-shaped yet retain many of the characteristics of their species. Unfortunately, Corr is not so sure he can overcome the conflict between his instincts and his training as a warrior but when Rhya is threatened because of her work in Human psychochemistry to help humans achieve multiple thoughtstreams, he finds a way to rescue her, with the help of a remarkable ship, and they strive to make the OFTA (Organization for Fair Treatment for All) a reality, not a sham.
This fun, imaginative story blends creative elements based on elements of nature with familiar themes from science fiction tales. There are quite a few different threads mixed together in a somewhat chaotic action stream and it seems like there is just a bit too much crammed into too short of a story, but the underlying messages make this a thought-provoking tale. I am not fond of constantly shifting points of view as I find it a little disconcerting, and I wished that some of the events had a little more background or exposition. There is a brief appendix at the end that gives a quick recap of some of the names and places from the story, which may help somewhat to remind the reader of a few of the details. I have not read the first story in the series, so perhaps that would have made this one flow a little smoother for me but this is still an entertaining light read.

Corr Syl the Terrible by Garry Rogers is a very interesting tale about characters that descend from animals who are living with humans on earth. It is quite a great story told more in a narrative way with intermittent dialogue. It is fast paced and treats the reader to a great warrior tale. I keep forgetting this is a pre-teen or a tween’s book. It will be greatly liked both by lovers of animals and warrior fantasies.
The Tsaeb are a warrior group that protects the world from devastating wars. They are highly trained and deadly if they wish to be, although they are not killers nor do they use their powers to hurt others unnecessarily. Corr is one of this Tsaebs and so is his love interest Rhya. They make a great team with powers of their own that help them out of tough spots throughout the book. Rhya gets kidnapped and Corr moves earth and sky to free her from a ruthless emperor who wishes to have all the species on earth under his command as well as to kill Corr.
In the meantime, Rhya becomes a person of great interest to the emperor as he finds that she has been sent to help the humans gain more intelligence by using an extract from the venom of a spider. She also gains even more interest when the emperor finds out that she has special powers, and he wants to study her to gain the upper hand against her species.
Over all, the reading is quite interesting and full of action. It is a great combination of Sic-fi and medieval ideas merged together. It reads a bit like the Redwall series and is a great read for the whole family.

There were several things I enjoyed about this book. The cover is a work of art. I was also happy to see a map in the early pages. In a different land or world, it’s always nice to have something to reference too if you’ve gotten yourself turned around or lost. The author also shared with the reader how to pronounce Tsaeb. I’m sure some would have scratched their heads on that word.
I also got a little giggle about the aircraft. Is anyone else old enough to remember the show Mork and Mindy?
As for the writing, there was a component that was somehow missing. Corr and Rhya are both trained warriors. So they are thinking strategically, I get that. But somehow the ‘why’ was emotionally missing for me. Had they dedicated themselves to this life because of duty to their families, for honor, a cause they believed strongly, for the adventure? Maybe this foundation was in the first book in the series. I didn’t feel it in this one. And honestly, maybe teens and young adults don’t need that to enjoy this adventure.
Especially since this is for a teen and young adult audience, I was appreciative of the environmental view point. The idea that other creatures had become more evolved than humans could give pause for thought. What was our undoing?

Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian – I Dig Good Books
**Disclaimer I received a copy of this book from Goddess Fish Promotions in exchange for a fair and honest review.**
Corr and Rhya are best friends who are recovering from the July war that destroyed the peace that once stood strong between the Tsaeb and humans. Corr finds himself using an ancient Warcraft to fly to get to where he believes Rhya is to save her. He must force himself back into battle mode to save his best friend and crush. Will he be able to conquer those he must fight? Does he hold the power that is necessary to compete against the humans and Tsaeb assassins?
The concept that this author has used and applied towards this story that animals are just as bright, in most cases brighter, than humans is quite interesting and well thought about. His descriptions that he uses are incredible and make for visualization to be done without much trouble. This was a fast read as it is a novella but it isn’t without a great story and story line. As I was reading the story I kept catching myself thinking “what if”.
If you are looking for a quick read that takes you to a new world in your mind and allows you to escape then pick up a copy of Corr Syl The Terrible.

Independent reviewer for Paranormal Romance and Authors That Rock. Corr Syl the Terrible by Garry Rogers is about is intelligent animals that roam around earth and have evolve farther than humans.
The story focus on Corr Syl a rabbit warrior that is now roaming around earth while trying to figure out his place on the world and wanting to get away for the war that surrounds. While on his journey a distress call that his crush has been taking takes him away from his trip and he takes on the mission to find her. While searching he encounters some unexpected allies that will help him in him search and fight.
This is a different read from what I am used to and have to say that was happy with it. For those who are sci-fi funds is a must read.
I give this book 4 fangs!!!!!

I liked this quick short novella. It was a nice paced read not to fast and not choppy or fragmented. It has definitely whet my appetite for more of the series. I am going to pick up the first book Corr Syl the Warrior soon so I can see what happened to the characters previously. Thankfully with this novella you don’t need to have read the first book to know what was going on in the second!! Big bonus points for that!! The characters were well written and well developed the only issue I had was towards the end of the book when the bad guys ending was wrapped up in a paragraph It seemed a little rushed but I am looking forward to another part in this series.

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. This story is pretty cool and well thought out. The characters are all animals and Corr Syl is unsure of the path he has been trained for that is until the love of his life is kidnapped. A love story of sorts making you wonder if animals really have more going on than we think, A good fun read.
August 8, 2015
A great idea with so much potential, but there was no set up for us to care about the characters or the action scenes. Lacked emotion and got stuck in the main characters head rather than letting us live in the world that the author tried to create.

Received as a Goodreads giveaway.
A young adult fantasy that I enjoyed very much. Will be buying the other Corr Syl adventure.
