Curiosity Quills is excited to reveal the cover for new-adult science-fiction, action-
adventure Zhukov’s Dogs, by Amanda Cyr, which is scheduled for release
October 27, 2014. The awesome cover was designed by the talented Alexandria Thompson of Gothic Fate.
Lieutenant Colonel Nik Zhukov is just like any other desensitized seventeen-year-old
living in the year 2076. At least he likes to think he is when he isn’t busy eliminating threats to
national security, breaking up terrorist organizations, and trying not to get blown up. It’s all
in a normal day’s work for one of the military’s top dogs, and he’s never disappointed. Never
failed. Never lost sight of his dream of making it to the elite force, even as each new job forces
him to see just how morally corrupt his leaders are.
On the verge of promotion, Nik is dispatched to the underground city beneath the icy
Seattle tundra, his final mission handed down directly from The Council. It should have been a
simple in-and-out, but the underground is full of dark secrets and he soon finds himself swept
into battles, lying to his best friend back east, and growing a bit too close to the rebels he was
sent to spy on.
Nik realizes too late that he’s broken the number one rule within his ranks; he’s
allowed himself to feel normal for the first time in his life. He might be able to turn the job
around, become the soldier he was once was, except for his growing attachment to the rebel
leader. A guy. Yet another first for Nik. It’s a mistake he pays for dearly when he learns The
Council’s true intentions for the city.
It’s never ‘just harmless fun’ when you’re a government dog, not when The Council
holds the leash. Nik knows there are some lines you can never come back from crossing, and
he’s forced to choose whose rules to play by. He races toward the invisible divide, aware he’ll
be called traitor by both his nation and by his friends. Aware that even the right choice can be
deadly to make.
Add Zhukov’s Dogs to your Goodreads 'to-be-read' list.

Growing up, Amanda moved around a lot. She began writing to make the transitions
easier and make up for her lack of friends in middle school. An awesome professor in
Medford, Oregon tried to convince her to pursue writing professionally, but Amanda was
deadest on a law career. It wasn’t until an unpleasant professor in Seattle, Washington told
her she was a terrible writer that Amanda really committed to the idea of getting published,
mostly just to spite her professor.
When Amanda’s not hunched over a laptop she enjoys sleeping, video games, Netflix
binges, and wrestling with her two polar bear dogs. She currently lives in Los Angeles, where
she spends her days hissing at the sun and missing Seattle. Her least favorite things include
the mispronunciation of her name, screaming children, and California.
