It’s their world now. By force of arms former US Army general Karl Vance, a werewolf with roots in the Black Death riddled days of the Dark Ages, has achieved the downfall of human civilization. Centuries of infiltrating the human race, and decades of building alliances within the worlds militaries, Vance has gained what he’s longed for; dominance over the world as homo-lycanus superior. But no absolute rule goes unchallenged.
Within his pack, lycanthropic lieutenants challenge him for their own territories, gambling that his resources and abilities are spread thin in his war against mankind. Those who tease his anger will learn quickly that what Vance has done to humans he will just as easily do to his own kind. Vance’s reach is exceeded only by his hatred of opposition. Humankind and their lycan allies continue to stand against Vance even though cities across the planet have been reduced to rubble thanks to Vance’s weapons and lycans of mass destruction.
Marine Corps Major Omi Kunpai and US Army Captain Paul Demarti are two survivors of the initial lycan attacks in Tikrit, Iraq. With them is Chief Warrant Officer Brenda Walinski, an Apache helicopter pilot who suffered head wounds leaving her with dissociative identity disorder that allows her to sense lycans, and Private First Class Gloria Zeller, a soldier that deserted after the attack on Forward Operating Base Ironjaw to wage a guerilla war against lycans.
They and other Iraq campaign survivors form the core of a group lead by US Army General Timothy Hughes, a one-time ally of Karl Vance. Hughes is like Vance; one of the world’s first lycans, but sympathetic to humans. Vance and Hughes split centuries earlier after Vance challenged Hughes to the role of alpha, and lost.
For Kunpai, Demarti, and the others there is no altruistic hope for reclaiming humanity’s greatness. It’s a dog’s world now, and it’s gone straight to hell. They just want to get a little payback.
Dog World: Gone to Hell is the second book in the Dog World Series.

Review by Cabin Goddess ~ Dog World - A Post-Apocalyptic Nightmare
When I first read the premise of this book my first thought was how can anyone find a way to tell us an original tale in a genre that is so inundated with books and movies every year? Well first time author, Jason McKinney has managed to do this and more. 'Dog World' starts off with a bang and never stops, not even at the end. Throw in a bit of karaoke and one mad 'man's' vision of a human in the freezer for all, and you will eat this book up!
