![]() ![]() Dragon is openly contemptuous of everyone else, Bees doesn't seem to think on an emotional level, at the beginning at least, and Honey seems to treat him as someone she's fond of, but who is nowhere near her intellectual equal, much like we might treat a clumsy child who is a distant relation, or an old friend who is decent and honourable, but is a friend simply because you've been through so much together. But I just think that such original ideas should have come together in a book somewhat better than this. ![]() It is a book that I believe is an important addition to the SF genre. Overall, I would have to recommend this book. There always seems to be a key player off stage that is never truly revealed, only hinted at. I would have liked the story to have focused on Honey or Bees, much more than Rex. Why Rex's team thought so highly of him at first is baffling. ![]() The concluding chapters seemed rather anti-climatic. (3) the likely direction of human warfare. (2) where the line is between sophisticated tools and intelligent beings, It's closer to hard science fiction than science fantasy. ![]() The main character (Rex) is one of the most original in fiction. I've finished Dogs of War by Adrian Tchaikovsky, and I'm really in a quandary about what to say about it. I posted this on the What I'm reading thread for September, but believe for future use it might be good to put this here as well. ![]()
