![]() ![]() ![]() The space carefully carved out between the words instigated a chain of concepts, themes, and implications that would echo through the book.ĭogs of War begins in a warzone, gonzo action that throws up moral and ethical quandaries like leaves tumbling in an Autumn gale. The first chapter sent me reeling, what was unsaid and implied made what was said that much more powerful and impactful. Nonetheless it is one whole story, a Frankenstein’s tale for the modern age that poses some very real and very frightening questions that are relevant now, today. Each time the tempo and pace, the focus and problems, shift significantly. It is a curious book, staccato, the action begins in a warzone and moves, moves, and moves again. Rex, Honey, Dragon and Bees are wonderful, each an individual fascinating in their own right, and bound together by circumstance. They are intelligent, enough to serve their function in a warzone, and integrated with a range of technologies. The main protagonists in the story are bioforms, genetically modified hybrid creatures, part human, part animal, part manipulation, and part technology. If I had to guess, I would suggest that this book is set in the not-too-distant future, maybe 50-80 years from now. ![]()
