Publisher's Summary

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?

Top 10 reads in recent memory, top 1-3 this year
Wonderfully written, intense, and thought provoking. A summation of wonderful characters, intellectual exercise, and all the emotional exploration, along a well paced course of events.
Rex is a good dog.

Excellent

This man always delivers on his weirdest ideas, must-read if you like tales of human consciousness, post-humanism (or just plain humanism), cyberpunk wrapped in a mix of war stories and intrigue.
