Diego de la Corte is essentially a robot. Just like you. He works a dead-end job like you; goes to the same hypnotizing clubs you frequent; drinks the same bitter beer you chug; buys the same trendy technology you also can't live without. He keeps dreaming the same dreams, but he desperately wants to wake up. His best friend, Ketrick Woodward, is wide-awake and ready to open Diego's eyes. In this American society controlled by a new kind of government called the Enforcers of Democracy, Diego becomes Ketrick's student, learning and gradually accepting his teacher's mantra that having your life watched, your very reality controlled, is no way to exist. Soon Diego is thrust into an external-and internal-rebellion in which his decisions will forever transform his life, the lives of his friends, and the world around him.
Praise for the Underground Dogs:
First place winner in "Dystopian and Post Apocalyptic" category in The Book Fest Awards
Judge's Commentary in the Self-Published Book Awards: "I really enjoy this type of fiction in which the setting and characters are at once so relatable and similar, and yet something is very, very, askew in their situations so that you know it's a bit of a problematic situation for them! While this type of alternate America story might be a little close-hitting to the obscurities of our current reality, I didn't mind reading it and thought it was interesting and clever in the way the plot turns and twists...It was great fun!"
