Mission Earth - 6: Death Quest

Více o knize

Kinky killers, exploding speedboats, and $2 billion paternity suits set the stage for a wild adventure. Voltarian Royal Officer Jettero Heller is fiercely protective of Countess Krak, racing up the eastern seaboard while pursued by the Coast Guard. He’s ready to smash boats, set off bombs, and fend off relentless paternity suits. However, Apparatus Officer Soltan Gris is equally determined to eliminate the Countess, enlisting a hit man with a peculiar obsession for his victims after killing them. Amidst this chaos, Gris faces his own challenges as wedding bells chime for Heller, who is set to marry two women simultaneously. In this bizarre war of twisted desires and unholy alliances, the entire Mission Earth operation risks spiraling into a decadent DEATH QUEST. Acclaimed as a monumental work, this 1.2-million-word, ten-volume dekalogy masterfully combines science fiction and action/adventure with sharp satire, echoing the literary styles of Voltaire, Swift, and Orwell. A publishing phenomenon, each volume has topped the New York Times bestseller list, with over five million copies sold globally. Winner of France's Cosmos 2000 Award and the Nova Science Fiction Award in Italy, and nominated for a Hugo Award, this epic narrative portrays a secret invasion of Earth in vivid detail.
