Synopsis

The 1980's cult classic, Compton Crook Award Winner, now remastered with never-before-seen added material

Two hundred years after a nuclear apocalypse forced humanity to flee earth, humans still remember the most feared warriors of that planet – the Paratwa. These are genetically modified killers who occupy two bodies controlled by one vicious mind. The legendary Paratwa named Reemul, known as the Liege-Killer, was the strongest of them all. Now someone has revived Reemul from stasis and sent him to terrorize the peaceful orbital colonies of Earth. Is this an isolated incident, or has the one who unleashed this terrible power announced a gambit for control over the entire human race?

The author......more

I don't think anyone bothers to read in-depth book reviews anymore, so I'll be brief. There are 2 reasons why I didn't like this book: 1) The world and characters Hinz created are OK, but there's nothing amazing about any of it.
