Hell Hath No Fury Like a Monster Betrayed!

Agent Franks of the U.S. Monster Control Bureau is a man of many parts—parts from other people, that is. He’s also nearly indestructible, animated by a powerful alchemical substance and inhabited by a super-intelligent spirit more ancient than humanity itself. Sworn to serve and protect the United States of America from all monsters, Franks has only one condition to the agreement: the government is never allowed to try and make more like him.

Project Nemesis: a secret government project by the very agency for which Franks works to make thirteen more—just like Franks. Now all bets are off, and the powers of evil are about to learn that it’s best to stay on a monster’s good side. Particularly if that monster happens to be an undying killing machine.

The Carrera Saga Continues!

Carrera—warrior, killer, and savior of humanity’s freedom—has driven the Tauran Union from his adopted country. But that’s not enough. To finish his enemies once and for all, he needs to draw them in for a final, crushing defeat. To get to Carrera, his enemies will have to take the strongest island fortress on two worlds. And in the process they’ll learn why the expression "blood stained water" is not just a literary allusion.
