Clarke award winner, Adrian Tchaikovsky, comes the third instalment of the \u003cem\u003eDogs of War\u003c\/em\u003e science fiction series, a future where genetically engineered “Bioforms” have inherited not the Earth, but the Solar System.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe end of the world has been and gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\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\n\n\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\n\n\u003cp\u003eFast forward to today. A signal – ‘For the sake of what once was. We beg you. Help.’ – reaches Mars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\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\n\n\u003cp\u003eAnd it has all already gone horribly wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470069088492,"sku":"9781035901463","price":36.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781035901463-bee-speaker.jpg?v=1775211738","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/bee-speaker-by-adrian-tchaikovsky-9781035901463","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
