“. . . the third riveting installment in a captivating series . . .”
—Review by Book Excellence (bookexcellence.com)
“The year is 2076, and Dog Breakfast is a covert group of highly trained individuals that aim to fight for good. A member of Dog Breakfast named Marija uncovers a sex-trafficking ring in Los Angeles, which is merely the tip of an iceberg of criminal activity that leads to Ecuador, with a detour to Tijuana, Mexico. Dog Breakfast may have top-notch capabilities, but the group “doesn’t have resources to mend every injustice.” The journey to Mexico is required to get their hands on new funds; their destination is an establishment called Bar Nada, a strip club that also hosts a lucrative fight club. Once business is settled in Bar Nada, the group aims to take on some even nastier types in South America. The narrative also includes additional storylines, including the recovery efforts of a girl named Raven Rocksong who survived a shipwreck and is undergoing tough training that will lead to Dog Breakfast membership. Along the way, there are many futuristic details (with many terms defined in a glossary), including aspects of life in the cylindrical habitats known as soupcans, where people live in orbit around the Earth . . . .”
