Dog Logic

"I laughed my tail off right up to the very last page, which I read in a local cemetery for just the right ambience. Hats off to you Tom Strelich." -Tom McCaffrey, author of The Claire Saga That dystopian future they always warned us about?It turns out we're already in it.Hertell Daggett isn't what he used to be-he'd once been married, he'd once been a physicist, and he'd once been shot in the head. The doctors got the bullet out, but a few tiny specks of copper stayed behind, floating inside his brain, connecting parts that aren't connected in the rest of us, filaments of species memory going back to the beginning of time. He remembers the yodeling sound of dinosaurs and the rubbery smell of trilobites. He once had a future, but now he's the damaged caretaker of a failing pet cemetery where he discovers a lost civilization, well not lost so much as just misinformed-a time-capsule full of people living beneath his pet cemetery since 1963 due to some bad information they got about the end of the world.But the world didn't end after all but had wobbled on, while that misinformed civilization stayed where it was, back in the world of 1963. Until Hertell finds them and leads the duck-and-cover civilization into our glorious, mystifying, but often dismaying world, and in the process finds a past he never quite remembered, a love he'd never quite lost, and a future he never quite imagined.Book of the Year Winner - Humor/Satire - Independent Author NetworkBook Of The Year Silver Winner - Science Fiction - Foreword INDIESBronze Winner - Literary Fiction - Readers' Favorite
