Description: With Death's Head, David Gunn rocketed onto the scene in the most explosive and entertaining science fiction debut since Richard Morgan's Altered Carbon. Now Gunn is back—and so is Sven Tveskoeg: antisocial, antihero, anti-you-name-it, 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. Sven works for emperor OctoV—a tyrant who is part machine, part boy, part god, and all evil—serving as a lieutenant in the Death's Head, an elite corps of assassins and enforcers. Sven's new assignment? Lead his ragtag band of Death's Head rejects—the Aux, short for auxiliaries—to the artificial world of Hekati, and rescue a missing citizen of the United Free, an empire not only vaster than OctoV's but far more technologically advanced. But Hekati turns out to be a vicious den of backstabbing and betrayal, where nothing and no one can be trusted, least of all the greenhorn colonel put in charge of the mission at the last moment. It looks like somebody wants Sven Tveskoeg dead. So what else is new?
