Flesh & Bones

Flesh & Bones continues where Dalgoda’s hastily truncated story-line ends, with the cute canine spacer of the title on his way towards the wreckage of his home planet in a fleet that’s been hastily cobbled together by an Earth government not completely convinced they should help their doggy allies out, even if it increases the chance that they won’t suffer the same fate at the hands of the mysterious and violent Nimp. The action comes thick and fast, punctuated by lovely character touches, as Dal fights to keep his leadership and his sanity. Highly recommended if you’re more interested in reading about people (albeit some with bushy tails and wet noses) than the costumes they wear.
