Clark Award-winning author of CHILDREN OF TIME.My name is Rex. Redmark has been retained to suppress anarchist terrorists there, but as Rex comes to suspect that some of those he and his unit have slaughtered were innocents, he must weigh his desire to be a “Good Dog” for his masters against his desire to do real good. A bio-engineered dog fights for its life and its right to life. His obedience is tested on a mission in Campeche, Mexico. Rex is the leader of the Redmark corporation’s Asset Protection team, whose other members include an augmented swarm of bees, a weaponized bear, and a dragonlike lizard. This “Good Dog” is almost eight feet tall, with guns mounted on both shoulders and “super-dense muscles, impact-resistant fibres in his skin, hollow bones that were strong as titanium.” In short, he was made for combat. And to do that he must do exactly what Master says and Master says hes got to kill a lot of enemies. A genetically engineered Bioform, hes a deadly weapon in a dirty war. ![]() I am a Good Dog”-Tchaikovsky appeals to the cliché of a pet desperate for approval, which proves grimly ironic as Rex’s true nature is revealed. With Dragon, Honey and Bees, hes part of a Multiform Assault Pack operating in the lawless anarchy of Campeche, Mexico. Clarke Award winner Tchaikovsky ( Children of Time) takes readers inside the mind of a weaponized bioengineered animal in this imaginative triumph, the first in a series. ![]()
