Resumen del Editor

A bio-engineered dog fights for its life and its right to life. From the Arthur C. Clark Award-winning author of CHILDREN OF TIME.

My name is Rex. I am a good dog.

Rex is also seven foot tall at the shoulder, bulletproof, bristling with heavy calibre weaponry and his voice resonates with subsonics especially designed to instil fear. With Dragon, Honey and Bees, he's part of a Multiform Assault Pack operating in the lawless anarchy of Campeche, Mexico. A genetically engineered Bioform, he's a deadly weapon in a dirty war. All he wants to be is a Good Dog. And to do that he must do exactly what Master says and Master says he's got to kill a lot of enemies.

But who, exactly, are the enemies? What happens when Master is tried as a war criminal? What rights does the Geneva Convention grant weapons? Do Rex and his fellow Bioforms even have a right to exist?

And what happens when Rex slips his leash?

Wonderful book

Deeply moving, intellectual, and thought provoking book. Highly recommend if you are a fan of Tchaikovsky.

I started listening to this because I thought it was a funny concept.

I was laughing at first with the opening narration of a war dogs mind. Then I realized it was because I’m so used to media not taking itself seriously that I forgot I could take a silly concept seriously. As the book went on, I found it far less silly and let myself get swallowed up by another of my favorite authors stories. I nearly cried by the end. Rex is a good dog.

Interesting “what ifs”

The story made for some interesting discussions and debates. The author does it again. Who knows what our future would be with the way science and tech are evolving?

Very Good

Smart Sci Fi. Well written and engaging. Honey the Bear is a G. All the bio forms were cool af

Inside the mind of a canine warriro

Adrian Tchaikovsky is a connoisseur of kinds of intelligences. This book delivers a new, and superb, such novelty. The canine warrior is lovable if frustrating due to his limitations. There's plenty of action for people into that kind of thing. And the ending sets up its sequel quite well.

Unique concept, great execution. Solid narration

Discovered Tchaikovsky from his book 'Children of Time'. Just like that book, he does an excellent job characterizing non-human characters in a believable way. The narration, especially for the bioform characters, really elevated his writing as well and made me fall in love with Rex, Honey, Bees, Dragon, and the others.

Really looking forward to listening to the 2nd book in this series!

He did it again… Adrian is a true master. Don’t judge this book by its’ cover.

I am dumbfounded by Adrian’s storytelling once again. His common themes of humanity and technology interweave in such a way that I reckon he might have a crystal ball. Do yourself a favor and have a listen.

Outstanding!!

Good story and the narrators did an excellent job, especially the guy that did Rex the dog. Wow what a perfect voice for that character. Can’t recommend this audiobook enough, just get it. If you like science fiction at all you’ll almost certainly love this. 

Good is a complicated word

it was good. I enjoyed the themes and characters. it's a book I will think about often asks some big questions without definitive answers. only issue would be pacing near the middle otherwise close to flawless

cute story, narrator issues

I enjoyed the story. but if you can't do a Spanish accent. for the love of god, don't do a Spanish accent. we can imagine. we can't un-imagine what you're up to. lol
