Forests of the Night

Forests of the Night

"Forests of the Night" (1993) is a science fiction novel, the first book in the Moreau series by S. Andrew Swann (aka Steven Swiniarski), published by DAW Books.

"Forests of the Night" is a science fiction detective story set in 2053 in Cleveland, Ohio. The story follows the private detective Nohar Rajasthan who happens to be a "moreau", Swann's term for genetically engineered animal men. Nohar is a tiger whose species was engineered to be soldiers in the Indian special forces. Nohar is hired by what appears to be a "frank" (a coinage by Swann for genetically engineered humans, a shortening of Frankenstein) to investigate the murder of a conservative anti-moreau political figure. In the course of the investigation Nohar unearths a massive conspiracy involving extraterrestrials attempting to influence the government of the United States.
