Robots and Moon Rockets

While Reginald Elephant uses all his might to stop the pirates from escaping, Larry Monkey dives after an ancient artefact called a robot in the dark waters of the Gulf. The pirates still have the upper hand but there’s just a chance Flossy Fairweather can frustrate their plans long enough for help to arrive. The friends are divided but they’re not defeated, not by a long shot.While Reginald Elephant uses all his might to stop the pirates from escaping in Harry Possum’s stolen Baltimore Clipper, Larry Monkey dives after an ancient artefact called a robot in the dark waters of the Gulf. The pirates still have the upper hand but there’s just a chance Flossy can frustrate their plans long enough for help to arrive. And there’s a secret passage made by owls and hiding in plain sight that may hold the key. The friends are divided but they’re not defeated, not by a long shot.By the end of the next ice age, all that remains of the once great, world-spanning human civilisation are myths and ancient, inexplicable artefacts lying at the feet of melting glaciers. Thanks to the red-hot Heat Tree reefs that keep the ice at bay, the lands above the Gulf of Mexico are some of the few places still warm enough to support life. On the western shores of the Gulf is Port Isabel, a town conceived and built by owls who mysteriously vanished hundreds of years before without even bothering to say goodbye. The animals that live there are industrious, peaceful and vegetarian; except for those that aren't, which is where all the trouble starts.
