About this ebook

Set in a retro-future populated by canines, Dogs of Mars follows the travails of Sasuke Hattori and his crew of prototype super-soldiers, known as the X-dogs. Created by Mars to defend her during the war with Earth, the X-dogs face a new threat in this peaceful age; a rampant alien bio-weapon known simply as the Mold. Armed with Sasuke’s latest invention, the RIG, the X-dogs must not only navigate Mold-infected space stations, but also the demands and foibles of a society that shuns them.

"I've thoroughly enjoyed the engaging storyline and well-developed characters in this science fiction novel featuring anthropomorphic canines. The world-building is impressive, and the narrative keeps the reader captivated throughout. However, I want to express a concern regarding the depiction of particular canine characters using cigarettes. While this may add a gritty or mature touch, it also introduces a health-related issue. Smoking, even in fictional characters, can send a mixed message, particularly to younger readers. The story is strong enough that it doesn’t need to rely on this element to convey character traits or atmosphere. Overall, while the portrayal of smoking might detract slightly from the novel’s impact, the creativity and depth of the story still shine through. I believe the narrative could be just as compelling—if not more so—without promoting unhealthy habits. Also I'm no Furry Fan, I read this because I'm in need of inspiration." :/

A novel with a lighter mood with a peculiar approach, Dogs of Mars takes its themes -for example, the 80s funk and the Cold War- for an essential display. In addition to it, the main themes have a decisive press on the outcome for the main cast, the X-Dogs, to the point it might be overlooked. I highly reccomend to keep a record of what is said in the story as it provides footing for the outcomes that can seem obfuscating or disproportionate Another theme I pieced in Dogs of Mars would be "what defines a human?" The characters have traits unique to each other along with a few relevant absent traits. This puts into question if all and each "human" trait is absolutely necessary, even a few of the X-Dogs question this issue. To me, Dogs of Mars can be a approached as a light-hearted fun book, as a more critical narration if you read between the lines and even dark through a deep exploration of the context surrounding this vast fictional space. Reccomended to read more than once, for fun!

This book is absolutely thrilling. Just like the last book, this book is packed to the tips of its pages with storyline and emotion for those who's looking for a shocking experience, in the good way. Characters with great and different personalities, beautiful imagery to the mind, and a thrilling plot, one who's tastes for a good book would read this work of art, and learn to look overhead what it shows on the outside and look at whats inside its pages, before screaming "tHis suCks iT haS fuRriEs!!!".
