B. H. Mallorie

"The metal dog was just under a foot and a half tall, nearly the height of the man’s knee. It didn’t have a head, and the dog’s knees bent backward. Keeping pace with the man, it maneuvered over the trail’s imperfections or unburied acorns as if the decision to lift each leg had to be made individually, yet it did so with expert ease."

In this near-future science fiction retelling of Jack London's "To Build a Fire," a lone man is still accompanied by something better suited to survival. But as the snow falls more heavily, will his dog remain an asset or become something he has to fight against?

(This title is written under the name B. M. Hunter because it doesn't take place in the same world as other works by B. H. Mallorie.)
