Verified Purchase

Phoenix is an amnesiac policeman based on Hesperia a moon of Cajon Pass in teh Lancaster Stystem. He perdues Titus Arco, hitman for hire to Solar Corona - "a wretched hive of scum and villainy" - where evrything is for sale at the right price. During his unofficial investigation he meets Anah, a policewoman. Together they persue Titus and alkong the way discover various truths. Simak being one of them. Simak being a genetically modified human with augmented sensory and physical capabilities. Tangentally connected (as it says on the front cover) to The Metabarons series, as they were first observed in that series. The artwork is very good - especially the ships. A interesting twisty turny story. Also has an addition four pages of art panels - rooms and scenes. Dark sci-fi. A small window into a much wider story ripe for expansion or additional material. Also appeares as two Kindle volumes - Hunt on Solar Corona and Deadly Games. This is the hardbound combined volume with no division between thw two parts.
