Canis Augmented. The Roche Limit Chronicles, #3

A cybernetic reconnaissance dog was built to evaluate alien worlds. No one expected him to become something more. Before Veridian-6. Before the events of The Roche Limit Chronicles, there was Draxin. A biological dog enhanced with advanced cybernetics, Draxin was created as an off-world reconnaissance canine, sent to explore alien worlds and determine whether humanity could survive them. Intelligent, adaptable, and increasingly curious, he began modifying his own behavioral routines long before anyone realized what was happening.
Across hostile planets and unexplored frontiers, Draxin encounters wonders, dangers, and mysteries that challenge both his programming and his understanding of himself. But after a catastrophic survey mission leaves lasting scars, he finds himself removed from active reconnaissance duty and sidelined on the edge of human space. There he meets Kalen Thar, a young terraformer whose curiosity rivals his own.
As their unlikely friendship grows, Draxin must decide what he is: a tool built for a purpose, or an individual capable of choosing his own path. Canis Augmented: The Origin of Draxin is a science fiction adventure of exploration, discovery, and emerging identity, revealing the untold story of one of The Roche Limit Chronicles' most enduring characters.
