KILLER BODY

About the Book

Two complete novels and fifteen stories, all bodybuilding-themed, make Killer Body a fan’s bonanza! In Deadlift, HACKER (tough guys don’t need first names), 20, is hijacked to “LA,” a fitness dystopia where you gotta work out--or face a gruesome death in the bowels of the Nemesis Corporation. A psychopathic roommate, an underground city of fitness degenerates, a band of super-muscular revolutionaries--Hacker survives them all. After a Hefneresque penthouse party thrown by the town’s maniacally corrupt “mayor,” Hacker competes in “the wildest physique show of them all,” defeats his arch-enemy (and alter ego), and escapes the exploding city in an IOC helicopter--with the girl he loves! The stories in Strictly Hardcore explore the iron-pumping lifestyle from a variety of angles--comic, grim--and totally bizarre! Meet Frank Decker in his Power Squadron Gym. Attend a physique show in outer space. Find out how much is too much to pay for the ultimate physique! Killer Body tracks the careers of a handful of pros in Florida, Europe and California. Love--death--betrayal--the pursuit of the 22”-arm! All this, plus a case of “Deca,” combine to make this up-close-and-personal view of “the world’s craziest sport” an unforgettable read!
