Maximum offence - David Gunn (Death's head #2)

Lieutenant Sven Tveskoeg's genetic makeup is only 98.2 percent human.

The remainder is non-specific and could explain his enhanced healing abilities, superior strength and sociopathic tendencies. A badass soldier with a hair-trigger temper and a moon-sized chip on his shoulder, these qualities 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 attention and earned him a commission in the Death's Head, the élite corps dedicated to killing and dying for the greater glory of - you guessed it - OctoV.

Now Sven and his Aux squad are heading for the artificial world of Hekati. A citizen of the U/Free (an empire not only vaster than OctoV's but also technologically superior) has gone missing and Sven and the team must find the poor, lost soul. But on Hekati, nothing and no one can be trusted. Somebody wants Sven dead, too. 

So what else is new?
