In the depths of space, several days travel from their home planet of Konar, the crew of the Illicit Jane mining ship haul in their latest asteroid laden with precious ore. None among them were prepared to discover a derelict spaceship attached to the asteroids surface and camouflaged against their ships scanners, left untouched for centuries. Inside the craft rests one hundred and nineteen corpses, suspended in cryogenic stasis long enough for their bodies to wither into husks. One man is found alive, barely more than a skeleton, with no memory of his past. This man is Ajax. His chance to live again will see the lives of the mining crew changed forever, not necessarily for the better, as he struggles to live in an alien world he has no knowledge of.
The first in a series of books, Ajax: Rebirth tells the action packed story of Ajax's return to his former physical prowess through brutal underground fights, murderous missions, scenic tours of Konar City, and a staple diet of death and destruction.
I haven't enjoyed anything like this for ages! I need to get the next one! I love the whole future sci fi setting with enough brutal violence to grab you by the face and head butt you into next month, adding enough sex so not as to be porn! If you love sci fi you need to read this. No wait, everyone needs to read this. Hey you, yes you. What are you doing still reading my naff review. Get this book, now!!
This is a well written book by a new author, and a definite page-turner. I love the complexity of the relationship that develops between Ajax and IIya. There is a lot of action in this tale, and some raw ferocity but it’s all very necessary to tell such a complex story. This is a rather lengthy book, but it will keep you engaged. I will definitely be reading the next installment in this series!
"Science fiction meets Raymond Chandler - 2 Jun. 2015
Whilst this story is science fiction at first glance it should also appeal to readers who enjoy thrillers. The world created by the author owes much to 1930's gangster stories. I look forward to seeing how this series develops"
