The reckless behaviour of the Republic of the Rabbits is causing alarm among the insects, birds, and animals of the Other World. Everyone wants equilibrium, but the rabbits’ actions are upsetting the humans in the house and risk destabilising that balance, which in turn could be exploited by nefarious outside forces, particularly the foxes. Can the League of Species overcome the Axis of Malcontents to restore the Equilibrium of the Other World?

This book is a work of creative imagination seen through the eyes of the non‑humans as well as the man and woman in the house. It offers perspectives and insights into a made-up world that resonates with the geopolitical ambitions and threats to civilisation in our complex, conflicted twenty-first-century reality. The narrative is fantastical, glimpsing a world we little understand; at times tragic, but with a positive outlook, it draws on insights the author gained from a career in government service, work that often involved the kind of management, administration, and foreign-relations interaction enacted in The Other World.

Kevin O’Connor is a former UK government civil servant who has represented the British government in official business across a range of government departments in the UK and abroad in the US, Europe and China. His strong background in management and policy enabled him to bring authenticity to the conduct of official business and the role of bureaucracy enacted in the plot of his first novel, The Other World and Its Quest for Equilibrium. Kevin now works as an accredited UK psychotherapist and has brought to bear his psychological insights to lend substance and depth to the characters in the book.
