Daugment

What if the only way to escape your enemy was to become his dog?
 
Leave behind the bitter rivalry with his fellow general Biaron Tristan. Retire to his private planet in peace. Never speak to another living soul again.
 
That's General Pitney Scolan's grand plan.
 
But when Tristan's assassination plan is exposed, Pitney has no choice but to undergo a radical transformation: he becomes a daugment, a cybernetically enhanced dog -- the former pet of Tristan himself.
 
Now on four legs, Pit begrudgingly joins up with a crew of misfits and outcasts to escape Tristan's clutches. But instead of freedom and solitude, Pit finds an intergalactic conspiracy that becomes impossible to ignore… especially as friendships blossom with his new allies.
 
This funny, heartfelt soft sci-fi novel will delight fans of fish-out-of-water protagonists (like John Scalzi's Redshirts, The Android's Dream, or Old Man's War), barreling around space with an ensemble cast like in "Doctor Who" or the Star Wars universe, and off-the-wall worldbuilding like Ernest Cline's Ready Player One.
 
Don't miss this irreverent, one-of-a-kind story that will make you laugh, cry, and howl for more.
