Dogs of war

Rex is a Good Dog. He loves humans. He hates enemies. He's utterly obedient to Master. He's also seven foot tall at the shoulder, bulletproof, and bristling with heavy calibre weaponry. Rex is a genetically engineered bioform, 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 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? This high concept SF novel is the latest from last yearÕs Arthur C Clark Award winning Adrian Tchaikovsky.
