Killed by Death

About the Book

In the future, there is only one government, one President, one galaxy-wide coalition. But there are still those who would threaten that fragile peace for greed, fame, or just for the hell of it. That´s where Horatio Bartholomew Fist comes in. Fist is the most highly regarded member of Boris Cushing´s M.O.A. Team. Officially, M.O.A. stands for "Mercenaries of the Alliance" but Fist prefers the colloquial term: "Men of Action." A veteran of the galaxy-dividing Zombie Slave War, Fist does battle against those who would shatter the universal peace enjoyed since the ZSW ended. Armed with his Dimensional Minimizer Model DMX0812, H.B. Fist strikes fear into the hearts of bad guys everywhere as he fights for truth, justice and the H.B. Fist way. In "Killed By Death," it´s been four years since Fist closed the final chapter on the Zombie Slave War with the apprehension of the War´s most notorious criminal, Arnold X. DemiGod. Now, DemiGod has turned up missing, and Fist finds himself on the trail of the vicious killer again. With a showgirl named Pepper Shaker at his side, Fist traverses the universe to hunt down DemiGod and stop him before he brings death, destruction and an unwilling army of cheap labor back to a civilization that thought those days of horror were over, forever.
