Opis

Doctor Goldbunny - the Story of a Rabbit who Becomes the Doctor of the Earth "Carry me up from the Depths of the Earth, Lead me from Nothingness on up through Birth..." So begins a riddle inscribed on a gold rabbit figurine unearthed at a remote archeological site in a vast and forbidding desert-beginning an odyssey that will forever change the fate of the Earth. Leopard Goldbunny is magically born in a community of animals now able to speak English. There he learns the ancient natural healing arts, but he decides to go a step further and become the first animal to go to a human medical school-Georgetown University. He successfully completes his studies, only to be denied his degree due to secretive forces threatened by his influence to promote the rights of animals. Undaunted, Leopard sets out to prove himself by searching for a lost healing herb for his longtime friend, a girl named Flora, whose illness doctors have pronounced "incurable." He takes Flora and his newly-adopted 100 bunnies to the rumbling, "dormant" volcano, Mt. Ararat, where they find not only a healing plant (an ancient tree, "Asherah"), but also the Ark of Noah, frozen in a deep crevasse. Many adventures ensue, and precede, involving, among others: C.A.T., a cat with many identities, who infiltrates the human world and discovers a hidden source of evil; General Undowar, the world's leading military strategist, who flies Leopard's party to Mt. Ararat in his not-quite-perfected experimental jet, and who later is disturbed to learn of the formation of a nefarious conglomerate called NECRO; Joshua, a French-Canadian-Inuit boy who wants to save the Arctic animals from corporate plundering; a group of Insects that are out to destroy Aftericide; and the ubiquitous Mr. Tentacle, who owns Aftericide Corp., Lethality Research, Bunnysoup Automated Rabbit Farm Industries (BARFIES), NECRO, and just about everything else, and is certain to get his comeuppance by the end of the trilogy. But Leopard's great discovery on his mission is that the Earth is a living thing... and that it has a disease.
