Oscar Rat

Oscar Rat has worked for two Presidents of the US as a Rodent Advisor and Troubleshooter. From an office at the White House, he's in constant contact with rodents around the world. In his Troubleshooting capacity, he's been sent to many countries to influence rats and other rodents to gain their trust and further the needs of the United States. This is a compilation of three of those missions.

A shipload of repressed Christians leave Bavaria to relocate to the New World. Upon arriving they find no sign of prior colonists or natives, not even a stray footprint. Eventually they find there are, indeed, natives -- human-sized intelligent rats. The short novel ( 13,000 words ) is about how the two species adjust to each other, eventually settling their differences to form a new society.
