London, United Kingdom, November 16, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– Following the success of his debut novel A Change of Reign: Realm of the Unimages, author Alex Maister returns with a bold and imaginative new story — 8 Cool Cats: The Underdogs — a witty, heartfelt fantasy that blends music, mischief, and social commentary.
In this wildly original tale, eight kidnapped kittens disguised in dog costumes must rock the stage, outsmart their scheming manager, and rescue their mothers before the final note falls in the biggest superband competition ever staged.
As the story unfolds, the cats and dogs are forced to work together across boundaries of species and culture, navigating a world where “cross-species bands” are strictly forbidden. What begins as a quirky musical caper soon becomes a powerful exploration of friendship, discrimination, and the exploitation of artists by those in power.
Maister’s latest work combines humour, suspense, and rhythm with a deeper message about unity, integrity, and breaking down barriers. “This was an incredible opportunity to test the boundaries of variety and provide a compelling social commentary on the intrinsic goodness of cross-cultural cohesion,” Maister said. “Although the story has many light and comic elements, it carries with it a powerful theme.”
8 Cool Cats: The Underdogs offers something for readers of all ages — a fast-paced adventure layered with wit, warmth, and a resonant call for creative freedom.
The book is now available through major online retailers, including Amazon and Apple Books.
