Atlantis, the lost empire—home to mythical creatures, ancient wisdom, and now, thanks to Rankin, an assortment of genetically modified chickens with supernatural abilities. It sounds like a fowl plot, and it is. In this outing, our protagonists, Jim Pooley and John Omally, return to navigate a series of supernatural events that lead them to the heart of the Atlantis mystery—or should we say poultry?
In between bird-based lore and barnyard escapades, the duo also encounters other fantastical beings and phenomena, creating a potpourri of urban fantasy elements that can only be described as Rankin-esque. As far as mythical reinterpretations go, this one will have SFcrowsnest readers clucking in delight.
