In a sequel to Dogs of War, Honey the genetically engineered bear takes a ride in Jimmy the Martian' s head and starts a revolution on the Red Planet. In a sequel to the much-praised Dogs of War , Honey the genetically engineered bear takes a ride in Jimmy the Martian' s head and starts a revolution on the Red Planet. Mars. The red planet. A new frontier for humanity: a civilization where humans can live in peace , lord and master of all they survey. But this isn' t Space City from those old science-fiction books. It' s more like Hell City , built into and from a huge crater. There' s a big silk canopy over it, feeding out atmosphere as we generate it, little by little, because we can' t breathe the air here . I guess it' s a perfect place to live , if you want to live on Mars. At some point I must have wanted to live on Mars, because here I am. The money was supposed to be good, and how else was a working Joe like me going to get off-planet exactly? But I remember the videos they showed us - guys, not even in suits, watching robots and bees and Bioforms doing all the work - and they didn' t quite get it right . . .
PRAISE FOR ADRIAN TCHAIKOVSKY: ' REX, a 2-metre-tall bioengineered dog, is one of the most achingly human characters I have ever encountered in an SF novel. A gripping dive into bioethics and artificial intelligence' New Scientist. ' This is superior stuff, tackling big themes - gods, messiahs, artificial intelligence, alienness - with brio' Financial Times. ' A joy from start to finish. Entertaining, smart, surprising and unexpectedly human' Patrick Ness. ' The novel [is] thoughtful and emotionally affecting, yet also exciting and unpredictable. Good dog!' SFX, 5*. ' A timely warning about the dangers of artificial intelligence and super weapons in the hands of unscrupulous powers' Guardian.
Adrian Tchaikovsky is a keen live role-player and occasional actor, fantasy author and winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award.
