When Across the River can do no more to heal the ailing Cherry, he is brought to the clan to be treated by the very reluctant medic Jack. Another human visitor brings news of impending battle, and though the tribe is willing to welcome Cherry in the face of the coming hardship, his heart is apparently elsewhere. Toriko's unique blend of beautifully detailed artwork, fantasy-inspired creatures like the Bird People, and a strong antiwar message makes this a riveting read.

"For two decades Shane Cotton (ONZM, Ngapuhi) has been one of New Zealand's most acclaimed painters. His works of the 1990s played a pivotal part in that decade's debates about place, belonging and bicultural identity. In the mid 2000s, however, Cotton headed in a spectacular and unexpected new direction: skywards. Employing a sombre new palette of blue and black, he painted the first in what would become a major series of skyscapes -- vast, nocturnal spaces where birds speed and plummet. The Hanging Sky brings together highlights from this period with four distinctive new responses. New York essayist Eliot Weinberger offers a poetic meditation on what he calls 'the ghosts of birds' in Cotton's paintings. Christchurch Art Gallery senior curator Justin Paton plots his own encounters with Cotton across six years in which the artist was constantly 'finding space'. Melbourne-based curator Geraldine Kirrihi Barlow confronts the haunting role of Toi moko -- tattooed Maori heads -- in the paintings and in her own past. And Institute of Modern Art Director Robert Leonard argues the case for Cotton as a cultural surrealist exploring 'the treachery of images'." -- www.craigpotton.co.nz

When palaeontologist Kathryn Widd is called to the Kenyan wilderness to investigate a set of hominid skull fragments, she little suspects how profoundly the journey will change her.

Earlier volumes in this series explored the often deadly interactions between the bird people and humankind. In volume four, while Rod races to stop the humans from attacking his beloved River's tribe, Cherry warns Jack that the army has surrounded the tribe — and is preparing to attack! Cherry's thoughts are solely for the survival of himself and his mentor, but Jack is determined to save the last of the bird folk, even if he must fight his own kind to do it. Toriko Gin’s stunning artwork and gripping storyline have made this title a fan favorite.
