Think The Fantastic Mr. Fox, with advanced weaponry. Charlotte’s Web, with armed combat. The Wind in the Willows, with machetes. D’Arc is all this and way more besides. Weaving together threads from dozens of ideas, Robert Repino tops his Mort(e) with an epic allegory at once strange, frightening, funny, and altogether remarkable. Repino’s dog, cat, and beaver soldiers are nakedly real, as honest as any characters in modern fiction. As horrible as it may sound, may The War With No Name never end.
