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

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Smartly dressed, 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 town or city for very 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 was his first novel.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

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?
