Blood of the Mantis - Shadows of the Apt

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.
