All he wants to do is make it back to the SpaceForce pick-up point. But as his buddies are killed, one by one, and the Knackers swarm ever closer, he's beginning to wonder if he'll even live through the next day!A rousing SF military adventure by a master storyteller!Pages of Slaughterhouse World :
