Book description

Bill would give his right arm to defend his Emperor against the alien Chingers - which is lucky seeing as he has two of them...

War demands sacrifices, and if you've lot one left arm, have an artificial foot and a set of nifty surgically-implanted tusks, it's a small price to pay for the privilege of being a hero. And Bill knows all about heroism - as part of a motley crew his new task is to track down the source of Chinger-controlled metal dragons that are making mincemeat out of humans...
