In a distant dimension Razorjack, the Iron Queen, sits on her dark throne. Her relentless warriors have already purged countless worlds of all life, and now they stand on the brink of a new dimension: the Core Loop, home to the planet Earth...
When Londoner Kevin Dixon pulls off the biggest scam of his life by double-crossing the eccentric crime-lord Leonard Cotterhill, he's not worried about anything: he's going to be rich.
But Cotterhill finds a new ally in Razorjack's prized killer Katana, who agrees to track down Dixon in exchange for a priceless artifact: A device that will allow Razorjack and her armies full access to Earth.
One-by-one, Dixon's cohorts are tracked and slaughtered by Katana, and Dixon quickly finds himself on the run from a brutal alien warrior who cannot be killed, cannot be reasoned with, and will do anything to achieve her goal...
Terminator meets Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, with a dash of alien body horror, in this fast paced action adventure. Blending two very different genres Michael Carroll does a great job of keeping things coherent (and exciting), as our hero, a small time London criminal, is pursued by an extra-dimensional killing machine after a job gone wrong. With memorable characters and great action, this was a hard book to put down.
