Grunt Hero
Page 32
World War III was over in a matter of hours, and Vadim and most of his squad are dead, but not done. What’s happened to them, and to millions of civilians around the world, goes beyond any war crime; and Vadim and his team – Skull, Mongol, Farm Boy, Princess, Gulag, the Fräulein and New Boy – won’t rest until they’ve seen justice done.
“A fast-paced thrill-ride that wastes no time with lengthy exposition or build-up... With striking imagery and Smith’s incredible imagination, this is a dramatic and exciting slice of sci-fi.”
Fantasy Book Review on The Age of Scorpio
“The protagonists are effortlessly brought to life, only growing in personality as the novel progresses.”
SF Book on Veteran
“Superlative, full-throttle, Harry Harrison-style SF: fiendishly inventive, highly accomplished and compulsively energetic.”
British Fantasy Society on The Age of Scorpio

THE EARTH WAS NEVER OURS
Alex Miller trained for years in the Army, waiting for a war that never came. Now a corporate bodyguard and driver, he’s about to bear witness to the end of the human race.
An ancient ecology has reawakened, and like a Biblical plague it threatens to consume all life on Earth. Hordes of parasite-infected humans riot in the streets, as vast fungal blooms destroy our crops and fast-evolving horrors stalk our cities.
The last time this happened, T-Rex found itself on the menu. But mankind’s got more than teeth – it’s got guns. Miller and the men and women of COBALT, the Schaeffer-Yeager Corporation’s elite security team, are pressed into service to fight the onslaught, but they have no idea how cut-throat their company masters can be...
“Ruthless and fast-paced, Extinction Biome is a planetary gut-punch.”

LIFE AND DEATH ON THE WAVES
Kavika Kamalani is a Pali Boy, a post-plague heir to an ancient Hawai’ian warrior tradition that believes in overcoming death by embracing one’s fears and living large. His life on the Nomi No Toshi, the floating city, is turned upside down when one of his friends dies, harvested for his blood, and he sets out to find the killer.
Kidnapped himself and subjected to a terrifying transformation, Kavika must embrace the ultimate fear – death itself – if he, his loved ones, and the Pali Boys themselves are to survive.
