My name is Lt. Samuel Dundy Archer and through the loyalty of my soldiers and the love of the woman I hope to marry, I may get out of this revolution with my breathing privileges intact.

I completed the Collar Book today. This book is EXCELLENT. No question. Has a very good beginning to end especially the very end is satisfying to close/finish the book.
I looked at other reviews and to be honest, there is no reason or need to continue the book into series but I think their passion is to see more of a hybrid interact with a human. Mind you this is not what you think it is. I've done role play as a hybrid and this is the first book I've read with details (not same as role play) and it still surprise me no matter what on how each character behaves :)
It's in a good way!
This is a book that I do recommend for everyone to read. It takes a hour or 2 to finish the book depends on how you read with no distractions. When I read, I could see it in a movie scenery like I always do with other books.
At one point I got distracted with my child and then a couple of hours later I was thinking, "I wonder what happened to Lt. Sam next." This is a fiction character but I feel like I know him from somewhere. :)
Being deaf in real life, I appreciate reading how things can sound in audio with out actually hearing it but with my vibration experience, I could feel it happening.
Excellent book That Mr Olson has written. I look forward to your other books.

An excellent piece in the Sci-Fi-Fantasy Short Story genre.
There is politics, issues of military dilemma, and forbidden love.
It's entertaining and dramatic, but most of all it has sparkle!
I hope the author will write more about this subject in a longer work with even more depth!
Try it! Be careful though, you might get hooked!
(in a good way, of course)

I do not read much Science Fiction, but Sigurd Olson made me want to know more about the far future colony where Lieutenant Samuel Drake commands a Marine unit of “hybrids.” The story of the revolution of the hybrids is told by Lieutenant Drake.
Drake is a big-hearted guy. The top hybrid in his unit, Sergeant Drake, is a perceptive Rottweiller who has dreams beyond being a Marine. A hybrid raccoon named Chelsea lends some romance to the tale. The theme of the story is racial intolerance.
I think the germ of Olson's story is very creative. I wanted more details, so I could picture the book's setting and see the characters as individuals. I liked reading about the hybrids and their dreams. The story held little suspense as I was reading it but left me with many questions about the hybrids, their creators and their universe. I hope Olson has enough love for his characters and setting to flesh them out in future stories.
