Death's Head: Maximum Offence: Maximum Offence (Death's Head 2) - Softcover

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 seems it's so damn secret that General Jaxx hasn't even told Lieutenant Sven Tveskoeg what it's about. It seems a citizen of the United Free, an empire not only more vast than OctoV’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 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!

Lieutenant Sven Tveskoeg’s genetic makeup is only 98.2 percent human. What’s left is non-specific but possibly has a bearing on his enhanced healing abilities, superior strength and worrying sociopathic tendencies. He is one seriously badass soldier with a hair-trigger temper and a chip on his shoulder the size of a small moon: qualities that would condemn a man in any decent society. Luckily, Sven doesn’t live in a decent society. He lives in the empire of the tyrant OctoV: part machine, part boy, part god and all evil. Sven’s unique qualities have brought him to OctoV’s personal attention and earned him a commission in the Death’s Head, an elite corps whose function is to kill and die for the greater glory of, you guessed it, OctoV. And now Sven and his team – the Aux – are on their way to Hekati. It seems a citizen of the United Free, an empire not only vaster than OctoV’s but far more technologically advanced, has gone missing on this artificial world. It’s up to Sven to find the poor soul. But Hekati is a realm where nothing and no one can be trusted. It looks like somebody wants Sven dead, too. So what else is new?
