Set a few decades after the events of Dogs of War, Bear Head begins with Jimmy Marten, a human engineer who has been Bioformed to deal with the hardships of working on Mars.
Life in Hell City is bleak, with human workers and Bioforms co-operating to create a luxury environment for a wealthy elite, without ever enjoying its benefits.
But Jimmy soon finds that the data he is carrying is both articulate and self-aware, and claims to be Honey, the political activist and well-known academic Bioform bear.
