"Buffalo Dogs" was the first appearance of the Amazing Conroy. It was supposed to be a one shot, but it went on to cause me to write a collection, four novellas, and two novels. In addition, two spinoff series have thus far produced five additional novels with more planned (both more spinoffs and more novels) and in progress. And oh yeah, there were four Nebula award nominations in there too. But it all began with a 7,800 word story. And here's the thing, everyone loves buffalo dogs (or "buffalitos" as they are also known). And why not? They resemble the American Bison, but shrunk down to a size you could carry under your arm. They have big, anime-like eyes and adorable blue tongues. They eat anything - seriously, anything at all, toxic waste, landfill, radioactive ore, anything. And perhaps best of all, inside that nuclear furnace of their stomachs, they convert it all to simple oxygen which they release back into the atmosphere. By farting.What's not to love?That first story has been picked up in science fiction magazines around the world, so it just seemed right to give the effort a little nudge. The result is this volume, some thirty different languages including the most commonly spoken and read languages as well as some less typically encountered (but hey, Klingons need fiction too).There's never been a book like this, but maybe, just maybe, the power of the buffalitos can bring the world together.,
