He lives a simple life of chasing tennis balls and avoiding bath time, until a visit to the Aetheris Institute goes spectacularly wrong. Caught in the center of a "Zero-Point Resonance" explosion, Pax is transformed. He doesn't feel different-he still loves bacon and ear scratches-but the world around him has changed. He can see the energy in the air, phase through solid steel to "fetch" objects, and create shimmering shields with a single bark. But Pax isn't the only one who changed that day.

"The Golden Guardian: Zero-Point Paws" is a heartwarming, high-stakes science fiction adventure about the unbreakable bond between a dog and his human, and the hero that lives inside every "good boy."
