    About this series

    Welcome to Hell City, Mars

    Jimmy Martin has a sore head.

    He’s used to smuggling illegal data in his headspace. But this is the first time it has started talking to him.

    The data claims to be a distinguished academic, author and civil rights activist.

    It also claims to be a bear.

    A bear named Honey.

    Jimmy has nothing against bioforms—he’s one himself, albeit one engineered out of human stock—and works with them everyday in Hell City, building the future, staking mankind’s claim to a new world: Mars.

    The problem is that humanity isn’t the only entity with designs on the Red Planet.

    Out in the airless desert there is another presence. A novel intelligence, elusive, unknowable and potentially lethal.

    And Honey is here to make contact with it, whether Jimmy likes it or not.

      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. But all he wants to be is a Good Dog. And to do that he must do exactly what Master says and 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?
