Blonde Bombshell by Tom Holt

Tom Holt goes scifi!  Ostar is a planet inhabited by intelligent dogs who keep humans as  pampered pets.  Ostar is getting bombarded by music from Earth (which the Ostars call Dirt) and they are determined to wipe out the Dirters so they can regain their sanity.  They send a planet-busting highly intelligent bomb, but it fails.  A second bomb is sent.  This one is wary and searches for the defense shield that must have destroyed the first bomb.

I just came back from a family vacation in Bermuda.  Clean beaches, free[image error] beaches, good grub, a great time.  This is the best picture I took.  It's the sunset over the Royal Dockyard on the western tip of the island.
