The Monkey State by J. R. Roberts
English | 2025 | Sci-Fi & Fantasy
There is no world beyond the mist.
No world beyond the canopy.
Tell that to Claude Talador.
For moons, Claude—a restless pichu monkey—has been stuck in his office cubicle enduring the monotony of life in Tierra Libre, a bleak rainforest world where the rain never stops, boredom reigns supreme, and the dictatorship’s servants bleat “No Monkey Business”.
But Claude has never been good at following (all) the rules.
When he follows the eye of the Toucan, he stumbles across the Refuge, a literal underground resistance group with a daring goal: escape in search of the fabled माया.
The stakes are high, and the risks are deadly. Claude must decide if he’s willing to risk everything for a shot at freedom—or abandon his dreams in order to stay alive.
In a world where escape is impossible, one monkey’s courage could change everything.
