| The Dog Master: W. Bruce Cameron |
Set against the most dramatic time in our species' history, The Dog Master tells the story of one tribe's struggle for survival and one extraordinary man's bond with a wolf--a friendship that changed mankind forever
Thirty thousand years ago, ice was storming the planet. Among the species forced out of the trees and onto the steppes by the advancing cold was modern man, who was both predator and prey.
No stranger to the experiences that make us human--a mother's love and a father's betrayal, tribal war and increasing famine, political intrigue and forbidden love, joy and hope and devastating loss--our ancestors competed for scant resources in a brutal landscape.
Mankind stood on the cold brink of extinction...but they had a unique advantage over other species, a new technology--domesticated wolves.
Only a set of extraordinary circumstances could have transformed one of these fierce creatures into a hunting companion, a bodyguard, a soldier, and a friend. The Dog Master by W. Bruce Cameron is an evocative glimpse of prehistory, an emotional coming-of-age saga, a thrilling tale of survival against all odds, and the exciting, imaginative story of the first dog.
This sounds right up my alley and I cannot wait! It releases August 4, 2015.
I haven't read this author, but have wanted to. I love dogs, and this book sounds so good! Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Lisa, I see you are participating on COYER too. Best of luck on meeting your goals. If you want to give him a try, I highly recommend The Midnight Plan of the Repo Man. I have avoided many of his dog titles, although I own them, because I know they would be sad. This was a great small town mystery with awesome characters.
