“In this prequel, Ms. Gephardt illustrates the choosing of human companions by the XK9s. Human/ non-human interactions are always tricky . . . Gephardt treads this razor edge with such finesse that every encounter between XK9 and potential companion is sheer delight.”
Officer Pamela Gómez has never had a dog, never left her home space station, and never thought of herself as an “elite” anything, but she took the courses, passed the tests, and made the cut. Now she’s an XK9 partner-candidate, bound for Planet Chayko. Does she have what it takes to handle an XK9 super-dog?
