Guns of the Dawn

They thought we were safe. They were wrong. Lee and Mal went looking for monsters on Bodmin Moor four years ago, and only Lee came back. She thought she'd lost Mal forever, now miraculously returned. But what happened that day on the moors? And where has Mal been all this time? Mal's reappearance hasn't gone unnoticed by MI5 either, and their officers have questions. Julian Sabreur is investigating an attack on top physicist Kay Amal Khan. This leads Julian to clash with agents of an unknown power - and they may or may not be human. His only clue is grainy footage, showing a woman who supposedly died on Bodmin Moor. Dr Khan's research was theoretical. Then she found cracks between our world and parallel Earths. Now these cracks are widening, revealing extraordinary creatures. And as the doors come crashing open, anything could come through .

The Doors of Eden - An exhilarating voyage into extraordinary realities from a master of science fiction

Je m'appelle Rex. Je suis un bon chien. 

Rex est un bon chien. C'est un biomorphe, un animal génétiquement modifié, armé de fusils-mitrailleurs de très gros calibre et doté d'une voix synthétique créée pour instiller la peur. Avec Dragon, Miel et Abeilles, son escouade d'assaut multiforme, il intervient sur des zones de combat où les humains ne peuvent se risquer. 

Rex est un bon chien. Il obéit aux ordres du Maître, qui lui désigne les ennemis. Et des ennemis, il y en a beaucoup. Mais qui sont-ils réellement ? Se pourrait-il que le Maître outrepasse ses droits ? Et si le Maître n'était plus là ? 

Rex est un bon chien. Mais c'est surtout une arme de guerre hautement mortelle. Que se passerait-il s'il venait à se libérer de sa laisse ? 

Après les araignées du futur lointain de Dans la toile du temps, Adrian Tchaikovsky crée un personnage de chien intelligent aussi dangereux qu'attachant. Il met ainsi en lumière les conséquences, notamment éthiques, des recherches en biotechnologie.
