Book description
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!
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.
