"In the imperilled queendom of Kahulawe the most feared enemy is the sand cat.  Ancient enmities divide mankind from these highly intelligent and beautiful animals.  The boy Hynkkel, refusing to take up a trade in arms, is brutally outcast into desert lands populated by giant rats and scoured by sandstorms that can flay a man in seconds."
