Description
The Compton Crook Award-winning cult classic science fiction masterpiece, newly remastered and re-released with never-before-seen added material.
Two hundred years after a nuclear apocalypse forced humanity to flee the Earth for orbiting colonies, stories are still told about the Paratwa - fearsome genetically modified killers who occupied two bodies, controlled by a single vicious mind. The legendary Paratwa Reemul, known as the Liege-Killer, was the strongest of them all.
When rumours swirl that Reemul somehow survived the cataclysm on Earth and has been sent to terrorise the colonists, two 21st century Paratwa-hunters are revived from stasis to track him down.
But is this an isolated incident, or has the mysterious force which unleashed Reemul announced a gambit to seize control of the entire human race?

"...beautifully paced, crisply written and contained flashes of originality, even brilliance. It’s just begging to be made into a movie."
– Amazing Stories
“A spectacular action thriller mixed with some deliciously twisted political double-dealing and truly ingenious attention to character detail, Liege-Killer freakin' rocks. I can't recall a debut quite this auspicious and exciting recently…Hinz is nothing less than a natural born storyteller.”
– SFReviews.net
“Hinz packs this twisty story with action and mystery while striking a fascinating balance between modern reality and science fictional innovations. Readers will be hooked.”
– Publishers Weekly
“Thrilling, cut with conspiracy and rippling with commentary on the dangers of biological tampering. Hinz made a world you want to explore, even as you fear what you may discover…Classic, but hides its age as if it just stepped from a hibernation pod.”
– SFSignal
