Publisher's Summary

In a sequel to the much-praised Dogs of War, Honey the genetically engineered bear takes a ride in Jimmy the Martian's head and starts a revolution on the Red Planet.

Mars. The red planet. A new frontier for humanity: a civilisation where humans can live in peace, lord and master of all they survey.

But this isn't Space City from those old science-fiction books. It's more like Hell City, built into and from a huge crater. There's a big silk canopy over it, feeding out atmosphere as we generate it, little by little, because we can't breathe the air here.

I guess it's a perfect place to live, if you want to live on Mars. At some point I must have wanted to live on Mars, because here I am. The money was supposed to be good, and how else was a working Joe like me going to get off-planet exactly? But I remember the videos they showed us - guys, not even in suits, watching robots and bees and Bioforms doing all the work - and they didn't quite get it right.

Laurence Bouvard has own defn of sentence

Each chapter is narrated from the perspective of a different actor, and the story chops and changes between each of about 6 different actors in all. For me, some of the storylines are fun and interesting, others a boring and bland. It's hard to stick through the boring stuff just in case there is something relevant to the storylines you actually enjoy - when they eventually come back around. Laurence Bouvard's narration is also wrecks it a bit for me. Has this habit of really long pauses at odd places mid way through sentences. Example, second sentence uttered by this narrator: "Springer sat in the control room <PAUSE> and watched the different camera angles.", and on and on. The the other two narrators are better.
