The second book in the Decimation series.
The desire for power and control translates to all life forms.
The hybrids are way ahead of humanity in the war, ready to secure the victory and with their new "Up-hand" ability, they are now in control.
The supreme leader of the hybrids, the great winged ape, Horde the Great has now been revealed and leads the hybrid clans as a 'god-like' figure in the hyper advanced castle known as the Brandis. The hybrids are divided into clans, with each leader reporting directly to the Alpha hybrid.
They worship and follow all of his orders until a vicious leader from one of the clans, Drako the Rebel, wants the power for himself.
A revolt breaks out against the hierarchy of powers within the hybrids, and they erupt into a supreme and destructive war against each other.
