This is the story of Nohar Rajasthan, a private eye descended from genetically manipulated tiger stock to become a moreau--a second-class humanoid citizen in a human world. Nohar retired from the private eye business ten years ago, and just wants to spend his remaining time in the peace and quiet of his wilderness homestead. Then a human lawyer asks him to take on a missing moreau case--and suddenly all hell breaks loose!

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Steve has been afflicted by writing since an early age, and was seriously involved with prose in high school. Despite the best efforts of a supporting and loving family, he published his first novel in college. While insisting he can stop any time he wants, he hides behind an alias, S Andrew Swann, and has published 26 novels since 1993. He’s indulged in fantasy, science-fiction and horror and, as a late-stage genre addict, has even gone so far as mixing all three in the same book. (Marked, which came out in January 2019.) To this date he insists that his compulsion has not had an adverse effect on his life.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excelent, if somewhat unnerving, sequel to a great book.
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2001
Verified Purchase
The moreau books can be read individually, but this is the only direct sequel in the series (so far). Picking up about 15 years after the first, things start off bad and only get worse. Swann seems to have a bit of a formula here, and his books are almost predictable in ther chaotic messiness, but you know what? It works.
My heart sank when I found out that my favorite part of the first book, Nohar and Stephie's love story, didn't make it. But the book was still next to impossible to put down. I read it and the first book in just a few nights and was exausted. The tension just sucks the life out of you. And if you thought the first book was intense (and painful), HA! You haven't seen anything yet. The punishment Nohar takes in this book is unreal. You practically have bruises just from reading it.
Secrets and people from the past emerge to make Nohar's life hell, and as a character I feel that he grows just as much here as he did in the first book. And while the future looks bleaker than ever, there still seems to be a ray of hope.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fur, action and surprises
Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 1999

If you've read the three previous books in the series ("Forests of the Night", "Emperors of the Twilight" and "Spectres of the Dawn"), you know about what to expect - a mystery plot that leads to several twists and surprises, and a lot of action and suspense, all set in the late 21st century Earth where many of the inhabitants are genetically engineers animal-morphs (Moreaus) who were originally created to fight wars but who still survive and are treated as second-class citizens by most humans. In case you haven't read the previous installments, Swann does a pretty good job of filling in the relevant background information, but be aware that much of that information will be spoilers if you later go back and read the first three books, especially the first, "Forests of the Night", which also features Nohar Rajasthan as the lead character (the other two have different main characters).
The book was hard to put down, and all the action and plot twists worked pretty well, to a point, but starting somewhere around three fourths of the way through the book it felt like the author was overreaching, trying too hard to escalate the tension, pushing things too close to the edge, and as a result the ending didn't work as well for me as it could have. But boy!, what a thrill ride this book was. If you like sci-fi action thrillers, read this book. Read the other three of the series while you're at it.

Well this is just really kind of bleak. I'm reminded of why I don't normally like noir fiction.

So we get our tiger back in action. I never notice how fast I read that book. The story catches you from the start and makes you wonder what will happen in the next chapters and then the next.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some Good Closure on a Series
Reviewed in the United States on April 11, 2011
Verified Purchase
In this return of the character Nohar the Tiger/ Human hybrid ( Moreau), the author kept the paced going from very beginning. Nohar used his skills to overcome incredible odds, despite his growing physical detriments due to age. I liked the way the author focused on the evils and corruption that humans can do without the aid of alien manipulation, as was done in the previous 3 books.

i would have liked a little more wind down at the end of the book, as there were many unresolved issues that would have been nice to tie up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grity and nasty, but wonderful.
Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2002
This book is the fourth in a series, but you don't have to have read the others to enjoy this one. The books opens with a bang and ends with one. The twists and turns will keep you guessing, but the author does play fair and gives you all you need to figure out what is going on if you pay attention and read between the lines here and there. This is not a good book to read if you want a pick-me-up. This story is dark and does not paint a very cheerful picture of the world or humanity. I happen to love these sort of books, and Andrew Swann's in particular. As long as you know what your getting into I can't recommend a book much better than this.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent but not up to the original
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2016

Nohar, the very simpatico tiger detective of "Forests of the Night" is wrenched from self-imposed rural exile and involved in assassinations, conspiracy and suchlike. Old characters reappear and new ones may surprise. Decent story for those who wonder "whatever happened to Nohar", but not up to the original.

5.0 out of 5 stars Engrossing
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 1999
Nohar Rajasthan is no human. He is a genetically mutated tiger, a moreau. He is a predator, designed to fight by humans who did not want to risk their own in the bloody wars. But once the wars were over, the moreau had to be tolerated by the humans who created them. So now they are second class citizens. Nohar makes his living as a detective, serving only the moreau, never touching a human case but once. And once was enough. He learned his lesson.
Now, retired at forty, and feeling his age more every day, Nohar is approached by someone who wants to hire him, a young crossbreed moreau. Nohar refuses, which leads to his home being destroyed, which leads to Nohar seeking out the man who contacted him, only to find him dead. And all of this leads to a shocking discovery. Nohar has a son, and his son is in danger.
S. Andrew Swann has a knack for making the unbelievable seem believable. Fearful Symmetries humanizes Nohar to the point that he becomes a completely believable hero, while retaining his exotic differences. Engrossing.
