This week Claire reviews Kitty Cat Kill Sat by Argus. Claire says:

“Lily ad-Alice is a 400-year old, super-intelligent cat who owns a space station orbiting a post- apocalyptic Earth. Lily spends her time using the space station’s extensive weapons array to shoot down weird creatures that threaten the surviving humans, and also sometimes shooting down aggressive people who try to invade peaceful communities who are just trying their best to survive. Lily enjoys napping, but doesn’t get much time for it because of the constant alarms. She doesn’t enjoy eating boring beige rations every day. She constantly bemoans the impracticality of human-designed weapon controls for beings with no thumbs.

Lily also feels very alone. She has vague memories of her long-dead mom, Alice, and “something awful” hidden in the space-station, but after four hundred years of solitude she’s ready for someone else to talk to. If you’d like to spend time with an immortal space-cat saving the world, you’ll enjoy this book. If you like reading about making friends and the nature of personhood, you might like it too.”
