About this deal

War Dogs is the first book of a new trilogy by Greg Bear. I received an early review copy at BEA this year from the Orbit desk in the Hachette pavilion. This book is scheduled for release on October 14th 2014. Fleming, Mike Jr. (February 12, 2015). " 'Whiplash' Star Miles Teller Joins Jonah Hill In 'Arms And The Dudes' ". Deadline Hollywood. Archived from the original on February 9, 2021 . Retrieved February 16, 2015. On the other hand- this seems like a book that could easily be turned into a movie that i would watch. The almost-forgotten story of Stubby lured Bausum away from social justice history temporarily. She wrote twin titles about the stray dog smuggled to Europe during World War I who returned to a hero’s welcome. Both books were published in 2014 by National Geographic: Sergeant Stubby (for adult readers) and Stubby the War Dog (for children). The book is full of descriptions of Mars and what one would need to do to survive there. It has plenty of advanced technology and descriptions of how such technology would help one survive on Mars.

Moreover, for a mil sf novel, this didn't have too much combat. The scene at the very beginning was intense and cool, just like their scrambling to survive the aftermath but that was basically it. I presume one has to see the trilogy as a whole. Don't know. Or maybe the author was trying to make the point that even in the military it's not 100% fire fights 100% of the time. Still, on we go. Simple-looking story at first. But Bear very gently introduces hints that there's something not quite right here. Then another, and another, and gradually we realize that the story isn't about facing off the bad guys at all. I shouldn't tell you more, but I guess I could say it's about who is trying to do what, and why? The description of this book that I read described it as a tale of space marines. That is true, but it is more than that. It really is a heavy dose of science fiction. It is almost a cross between Hebert’s Dune and Weir’s The Martian. This is, in my opinion of course, military only in the strict sense of that word. It is about a group of marines that end up "lost" during a combat drop. Only a few have survived to reach the surface of Mars and now they have to survive there. Im not sure what to make of this book, or really what it is supposed to be. A weird mishmash, "War Dogs" follows a space marine through a crash landing on Mars, stumbling from one life-or-death situation to another before changing to some kind of thought experiment.

So after being dropped on Mars (actually, WHILE being dropped) shit hits the fan, unexpected things happen - and the MC doesn't even really know what as he and his team are immediately assaulted and subsequently disoriented until they are rescued by a local (yep, there are people living on Mars).
