Riassunto

Sven Tveskoeg–antisocial, antihero, anti-you-name-it–is a one-man killing spree whose best friend is an intelligent handgun with a bad attitude and whose worst enemy is, well, just about everybody else. These qualities have earned Sven a lieutenant’s commission in the Death’s Head, the elite corps of assassins and enforcers whose purpose in life is to serve OctoV, a tyrant who is part machine, part boy, part god, and all evil. Sven’s new assignment? Lead his ragtag band of Death’s Head rejects to the artificial world of Hekati to find a missing citizen of the United Free, a vast empire that turns out to be a vicious den of backstabbing and betrayal where nothing and no one can be trusted. Looks like Sven is on a suicide mission. So what else is new?

“Gunn is an excellent storyteller. . . . ‘Action packed’ doesn’t come close to describing this tale.”—SciFiDimensions

“Sven’s snarky smart gun, the SIG-37, provides plenty of verbal firepower.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Addictive . . . military SF that moves faster than the speed of light.”—BookLoons
