Harlan Ellison€s Nebula Award€“winning story begins this postapocalyptic saga of Vic, a boy, Blood, his dog, and the telepathic union that binds them together in a struggle for survival.
 
The cycle begins with €œEggsucker,€ which chronicles the early years of the association between fourteen€‘year€‘old loner Vic and his brilliant, telepathic dog. The saga continues and expands in €œA Boy and His Dog,€ in which Blood shows just how much smarter he is than Vic, and Vic shows how loyal he can be. The story continues in €œRun, Spot, Run,€ the first part of Ellison€s promised novel of the cycle, Blood€s a Rover. Here Vic and Blood find surprising new ways to get into trouble€"but getting out of it may be beyond even their combined talents.
