Relation In Pursuance Of Books Death's Head (Death's Head #1)

Set in a chillingly realistic far-future world, and featuring a gritty antihero even more frightening than the evil empire he serves as soldier and assassin, Death’s Head is sure to be one of the most talked-about novels of the year. David Gunn is loaded–and he shoots to kill.

At the top of the galactic pecking order is the United Free, a civilization of awe-inspiring technological prowess so far in advance of other space-faring powers as to seem untouchable gods. Most of the known universe has fallen under their inscrutable sway. The rest is squabbled over by two empires: one ruled with an iron fist by OctoV, a tyrant who appears to his followers as a teenage boy but is in reality something very different, the other administered by the Uplifted, bizarre machinelike intelligences, and their no-longer-quite-human servants, cyborgs known as the Enlightened.

Sven Tveskoeg, an ex-sergeant demoted for insubordination and sentenced to death, is a vicious killer with a stubborn streak of loyalty. Sven possesses a fierce if untutored intelligence and a genetic makeup that is 98.2 percent human and 1.8 percent . . . something else. Perhaps that “something else” explains how quickly he heals from even the worst injuries or how he can communicate telepathically with the ferox, fearsome alien savages whose natural fighting abilities regularly outperform the advanced technology of their human enemies. Perhaps it is these unique abilities that bring Sven to the attention of OctoV.

Drafted into the Death’s Head, the elite enforcers of OctoV’s imperial will, Sven is given a new lease on life. Armed with a SIG diabolo–an intelligent gun–and an illegal symbiont called a kyp, Sven is sent to a faraway planet, the latest battleground between the Uplifted and OctoV. There he finds himself in the midst of a military disaster, one that will take all his courage–and all his firepower–to survive.

But an even deadlier struggle is taking place, a struggle that will draw the attention of the United Free. Sven knows he is a pawn, and pawns have a bad habit of being sacrificed.

But Sven is nobody’s sacrifice. And even a pawn can checkmate a king.

Column Epithetical Books Death's Head (Death's Head #1)

Solid military sci-fi novel. A good mix of action and fantasy. Reading it reminded me of the Sten series except much darker. The main character is jumping from one locale to the next as his mission dictates. Plenty of intrigue, the warring factions are a little confusing but I laughed lot and was intrigued the whole way through. Cant wait to check out the next book in the series.

5 Stars for a throw-back, kick-ass military scifi extranvaganza of blood, gore, sex and cool tech. I loved it. Think of it as Sten meets Scalzi's Ghost Brigade SF with some Stargate, Farscape and Starship Trooper mixed in. Sven, the prime killer, is a Death's Head legion soldier with special capabilities and a SIG Diabolo gun equipped with AI...the gun is as much a character as Sven. Brilliant. Emperor OctoV sends Sven on special missions, usually resulting in many people ceasing to exist. The

Love a book that suck you in within the first 20 pages and never let's you go. Love the characters and the world created in this one. This is highly recommended for anyone that likes high octane sci-fi/military books. Accessible by anyone as at the heart it's a great action adventure story. Looking forward to part 2!

Well, I know Im enjoying a book when everything else stops until Ive completed it. This had its faults, but probably the same faults as mine in that the reader is too hooked into the action to take in all the detail. I was confused about the political set-up here until the end, and the snake heads were right out of Stargate Atlantis, but none of this was enough to distract me for long.David Gunns Deaths Head started off loaded with violent action and horror and continued in that vein, so I was

I liked this book and the series, except for how it dealt with relationships between the main character and women. I think the author may have been trying to depict the brokeness of the character through these relationships, but it ended up coming off as rapey. The sex scenes made me uncomfortable and destracted from my enjoyment of the book. And I feel like it gets worse as the series goes on.

as this is a pre-Goodreads novel (Goodreads has been around only since 2008) it has been missing from my reviews as I have read it on publication - anyway one of the best series debuts of the past 10 years and I still hope more of Sven's adventures will be forthcoming though I have no idea how likely it is; even so, all 3 series books available are still worth reading

Having only read 3-4 military sci-fi novels, a friend of mine(sci-fi fan) said this was good. So, thought I'd give it a try. This was like reading a hard-boiled story, taking place in the future. Gunn's sparse writing style, an anti-hero who doesn't mind adding to the body count, but is as loyal they come. Then comes along the "intelligent" gun, a character in himself. Gun fights, sex, booze, more sex and more gun fights...and, you have an action packed tale.Glad I gave it a try.
