Action-packed, testosterone-fuelled - the second explosive Death's Head adventure from the elusive David Gunn The Aux have been dropped on a far-flung planet called Hekati, only it's in Uplift space and not really a planet at all. As for their mission, it's so damn secret that General Jaxx hasn't even told Lieutenant Sven Tveskoeg what it's about. It appears a citizen of the United Free, an empire not only more vast than Octo V's but far more technologically advanced, has gone missing on this artificial world and it's up to Sven and the Aux to find the poor soul. But Hekati is a realm where nothing is quite as it seems and no one can be trusted. Smelling a rat, Sven is so not happy - and when he's not happy is when bad things start to happen - and the body count starts to rise...The devil-may-care not-quite 100% human mercenary soldier-cum-killing machine Tveskoeg and the Death's Head squad are back- cue more extreme violence, a mega death toll, dirty sex, fiendish plot twists and explosive, non-stop action!
A joy to read. First person, stripped back, black as night noir...it's even better than its predecessor * SF Crowsnest *
A non-stop outrageous adventure...lock and load into the story and have a great time
* SFX *Smartly dressed, resourceful and discreet, David Gunn has undertaken assignments in Central America, the Middle East and Russia (among many other places). He comes from a service family, has an impressive collection of edged weapons and sleeps with a shotgun under his bed. He is happiest when on the move and tends not to stay in one town or city for very long. Despite this peripatetic existence, he's now completed three action-packed Death's Head novels.
