An International Fantasy Award-Winning Fix-Up Classic of Intelligent Dogs, Robot Guardians, and Humanity's Fate

Across thousands of years of future history, humanity slowly abandons urban centers, relinquishes technology, and ultimately leaves Earth behind to assume bio-engineered forms on Jupiter. Preserved through eight interlinked legend cycles told by civilized, telepathic Dogs, human history has faded into myth and folk tales.

Central to these legends is Jenkins, a faithful, immortal robot butler who serves successive generations of the Webster family. As intelligent Dogs inherit Earth and establish a peaceful, non-violent society, Jenkins guides them while defending the world against encroaching mutant Ants and parallel-world invaders.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Grand Master Clifford D. Simak's International Fantasy Award-winning masterpiece offers a deeply philosophical, pastoral vision of future history. Essential reading for fans of Ray Bradbury, Olaf Stapledon, and Isaac Asimov's Foundation.
