dreamcraft reprint mels books

This is a fast-paced, very sexy SF adventure set in the 23rd Century. Co-captains in the paramilitary force NARC, Kevin Jarrat and Jerry Stone hide their secret desire for each other while battling the drug syndicate that manufactures and distributes the lethal drug Angel. When Stony is kidnapped and forced onto Angel, his only hope is Jarrat--and a really unique cure. DEATH'S HEAD has it all: action, sex, romance, high-tech weapons, adventure.... the copy I have is the new print from dreamcraft and contains an extra 20,000 words not in the original http://www.dream-craft.com/melkeegan/ they even have stocks of Equinox and the 3rd book Scorpio (printed 2004)

Simply love it!

Once you start, you are in for an exciting roller coaster ride. I just could not put it down and finished it in a day. Death's Head definitely ranks with Fortunes of War as my favorite Keegan books. Both protagonists, Jarrat and Stone, are intriguing, sexy and alluring, the perfect heroes of a great and solid science fiction. Their devotion and love for one another makes the book shines. The plot itself is sophisticated and races along brilliantly to an exciting finish. Not really as the future of the lovers are to be continued in Equinox, the sequel which I am desperately trying to get my hands on. Simply a great book not to be missed

Two heroes are better than one

I like sci-fi and fantasy novels with strong characterizations. After reading this book and the sequel "Equinox", Jarrat and Stone seem like living, breathing characters. I am not sure how many people still read Chester Himes' Coffin Ed Johnson, Gravedigger Jones mysteries. If you overlook the obvious disimilarities, Jarrat and Stone remind me of Himes' heroic policemen. Each alone is good at what he does. Together, they are unstoppable. I would trust my life to either crime fighting duo.

Brilliant complex adventure!

Set in a high tech future this book reminded me of a japanese robot anime! We have two great, sexy characters, partners in the paramilitary force called NARC who fight against the vicious drug cartels who run whole planets. Jarrat & Stone are a great pair of heroes, and the author has created a fantastic futuristic world of high tech gadgets and hardware.If you like pure escapist entertainment with a terrific story-line and non-stop action then this is the book for you. It also has lashings of great gaysex!
