The Dogs of War

The soldiers they created were supposed to obey. Nobody planned for them to become something more.

After the Battle of the Kennel, Daniel Penn is ordered to investigate three Chimera soldiers accused of killing a human officer. What should be a straightforward military case instead exposes prejudice, command politics, and a military desperate to control soldiers it created but never truly understood.

Penn's answer is to do the one thing the bureaucracy seems least prepared for: treat the Chimeras like soldiers.

As war spreads across the Americas, Penn begins building a new mixed-species fighting force from humans and genetically engineered warriors. They will have to learn to fight together quickly, because the enemy is no longer limited to conventional troops, advanced weapons, or even conventional rules of war.

And while commanders argue over politics, loyalty, and who can be trusted, another threat is already spreading through the ranks.

An engineered plague is coming.

The Dogs of War is Book II of the Countdown to Armageddon series, a military science fiction saga blending supernatural warfare, genetic engineering, dark humor, advanced technology, faith, sacrifice, and the hard consequences of command.
