Animalis is a YA science-fiction novel by John Peter Jones. One hundred years ago, the Animalis were unleashed: genetically engineered beings with rough humanoid forms and near-human intelligence. Humanity seemed willing to share Earth. Now a deadly conflict rages.

Jax Minette throws himself into battle to erase the shame of being son to a dishonored veteran, until he is ordered to kill an innocent and everything he was taught starts to crack. With blood on his hands and a redhead who believes peace is possible, Jax must hunt down the machine that created the Animalis. Capture means the arena, where no human has ever stood a chance.

Available as paperback and Kindle on Amazon, and as an audiobook narrated by John Hanks on Audible.
