Tomorrow We Die: TOMORROW #1

Seventeen-year-old Hippolyte Falcor is anything but selfless. His efforts to fend for himself have resulted in a murder conviction, a jail-bust and a life of thievery. Not that it bothers him much: like every other boy in the country, he's cursed to morph into a dog and die before age thirty. At least this way, surviving on outwitting police and stealing from unsuspecting travelers, his last shreds of life are almost fun. But when a pickpocketing attempt goes horribly wrong, Hip finds himself fleeing the police and another prison sentence. His only escape is to accept the dreaded role of bodyguard to Alex mac Fauks, a young researcher seeking to end the ancient curse.

Then Alex reveals some disturbing news: not only does he have no idea how to end the curse, but a mysterious group of youthful terrorists wants him-and all of Fionhry-dead.

By digging through chronicles of the past, Alex may be able to find a cure for the curse. He needs more time, and Hip is the only one who can buy it for him, using his street-smarts to hold their terrorist enemies at bay. But guarding a hero has its price. When his name makes the news and police show up on their doorstep, Hip realizes his cover is blown, and it's his own clock that has run out.
