Neopro Shawn Scarber is working on a military SF novel titled War Dogs of Mars

Neopro speculative fiction author Shawn Scarber keeps
an online journal about his writing and has provided some excellent insight into a military science fiction novel on which he’s working: War Dogs of Mars. Scarber reads a
lot of military SF and, in general, he thinks the sub-genre is missing something, so his work isn’t going to be the typical military SF novel. Set on the Red Planet, War Dogs of Mars is about a small force of freedom fighters who attempt to “push back the pigs of the USSR
who have been seduced by the evils of the black market.” The last I heard, Scarber is up to Chapter 9.
