Clarke award winner, Adrian Tchaikovsky, comes the third instalment of the DOGS OF WAR science fiction series, a future where genetically engineered “Bioforms” have inherited not the Earth, but the Solar System.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe end of the world has been and gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere was no one great natural disaster, no all-consuming world war, no catastrophic pandemic. Only scores of storms, droughts, and selfish regional conflicts. Humanity was not granted a heroic end. Instead, it bled to death from a thousand cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut where Earth fell apart, Mars pulled together. Engineered men and beasts, aided by Bees – an outlawed distributed intelligence – survived through co-operation, because there was simply no alternative.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFast forward to today. A signal – 'For the sake of what once was. We beg you. Help.' – reaches Mars.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow could they refuse? A consortium of Martian work crews gather the resources for a mission: a triumphal return to the blue-green world of their ancestors. And now here they are – three hundred million kilometres from home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnd it has all already gone horribly wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Adrian Tchaikovsky","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51663843590465,"sku":"9781035901456","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0883\/1431\/5073\/files\/9781035901456.jpg?v=1776889116","url":"https:\/\/bloodstonebookshop.com\/products\/bee-speaker-dogs-of-war-3","provider":"Bloodstone Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
