While it may sound like the name of a Paw Patrol-like cartoon about military dogs, Adrian Tchaikovsky’s 2017 novel Dogs Of War was actually a hard science fiction novel in which the military engineers animals into weapons…including, yes, dogs.
With Tchaikovsky now releasing a second sequel to Dogs called Bee Speaker (hardcover, Kindle, audiobook), I spoke to him via email about what inspired and influenced this third book, as well as how it connects to the previous two.
