Greg Bear is one of the world's leading hard SF authors. He sold his first short story, at the age of 15, to Robert Lowndes's FAMOUS SCIENCE FICTION. A full-time writer, he lives in Washington with his family.
War Dogs is Bear's best book in years but only if you're ready to commit for a long haul - this is after all just the first third of the story and next two books are still far in the future. The whole set up is engaging and while it does play with some of the more familiar tropes in science fiction its pitch-perfect delivery feels entirely refreshing. An opening to a series well worth checking out! Upcoming 4 Me War Dogs is a book that both celebrates and respects the role of the combat soldier, with all of their trials and tribulations. Think of it as The Forever War or Starship Troopers, upgraded to the 21st century, a tale that shows that even when the technology changes, the role of the soldier does not. It is the best book I've read from Greg for a while, and one of the best military-SF books I've read in years. SFF World
