And to do that he must do exactly what Master says and Master says he’s got to kill a lot of enemies.īut who, exactly, are the enemies? What happens when Master is tried as a war criminal? What rights does the Geneva Convention grant weapons? Do Rex and his fellow Bioforms even have a right to exist? And what happens when Rex slips his leash? He has the intelligence to carry out his orders and feedback implants to reward him when he does. Rex is a genetically engineered Bioform, a deadly weapon in a dirty war. With Dragon, Honey and Bees, he’s part of a Multiform Assault Pack operating in the lawless anarchy of Campeche, south-eastern Mexico. Rex is also seven foot tall at the shoulder, bulletproof, bristling with heavy calibre weaponry and his voice resonates with subsonics especially designed to instil fear. These same humans happen to be interested in making money. A team of Bioforms created by humans to work in life threatening scenarios. Along with Dragon, Honey and Bees they form a Multiform Assault Pack. Dogs of War packs all you could want from your Science Fiction, along with everything you didn’t realise you wanted for good measure.
