Book description
Few survive the cage. Fewer still live to face the whipping post. Of
those who do, few are in a state to know what is happening to them.
One of those who does is ex-Legion Etrangere sergeant Sven
Tveskoeg. As this stubborn, insubordinate son-of-a-bitch feels
the first lash fall, he hears the desert tribes attack, and watches as
they slaughter his comrades before they can execute him.
Rescued from certain death, Sven joins the tribes. Until his
ruthless skills come to the attention of the Death's Head, the
infamous elite special ops force. They want Sven to sort out a little
'local difficulty'. But it seems all is not as it should be. Sven
feels he's a pawn in a deadly game, and pawns have an unfortunate
habit of being sacrificed. But Death's Head Second Lieutenant
Tveskoeg, Obsidian Cross 3rd Class, is nobody's sacrifice. And even a
pawn can checkmate a king...
Smart, resourceful and discreet, David Gunn has undertaken
assignments in Central America, the Middle East and Russia (among many
other places). He is happiest when on the move and tends not to stay in
one place for too long. He comes from a service family, has an
impressive collection of edged weapons and sleeps with a shotgun under
his bed.
Death's Head
is his first novel.
