Veteran is a fast paced, intricately plotted violent SF Thriller set in a dark future against the backdrop of a seemingly never ending war against an unknowable and implacable alien enemy.
Jakob Douglas, damaged soldier and unlikely hero, returns in another desperate, adrenalin-fueled adventure from Gavin Smith, author of the widely acclaimed Veteran.
We are machines, we are animals, we are hybrids. But some things never change. The Church knows we have kept our sins.
