Kingdom of Beasts - The Great Event Series, #1

Earth is in peril. The animals had been watching on helplessly as humans' violent apathy was destroying the planet. Until, finally, they decided to fight back. Desperate to get the attention of humans, whose faces were constantly fixated on their phones, the animals began to form an Alliance to prepare for the impending Great Event - a massive shift that would determine the future of Earth and all of its creatures. A story of loneliness, kinship, grief, and hope, Kingdom of Beasts follows the personal stories of various critters across the animal kingdom, including human Phillip Masterson, an avid gamer who gets pulled into a secret video game world that invites him to embark on a real-life adventure: join the Alliance and help save humans from themselves, before it is too late.
