Cost of the Hunt

by Roger Ruffles

Overview

A bounty hunter with a long, deep past interwoven with that of the Red Empire of Mars and its many challengers dares to dream that he can have his birth-right after centuries of denial. He accepts the contract, and will lead the hunt, looking for something only he could ever find. His payment will be the return of some of what the True Emperor took from him.

A Faceless Assassin wishes to bring an end to the person it blames for its very existence, but it needs help. It has prepared, and in its own personal hunt for vengeance, salvation and saviour, no cost or price will be too high to pay.

The would-be Third Emperor of Mars turns his paranoid, power-hungry eyes to new lands, and sets in motion the plans to achieve his goal of bringing the Empire of Mars one step closer to reality. He hunts for power, control, and dominion of all.

The Hunt is beginning, and in many senses it began over two hundred years ago.

Are they ready to pay the cost of the hunt?

About the Author

I was born in 1980, in Cheshire. Despite that, I view myself as a Manchester lad, having spent most of my adult life in the city. I developed a keen interest in science fiction at a very early age thanks to a very popular time travel series on BBC1. This has led to a life-long interest in the genre, which continues to this day, proving that the licence fee is worth it after all. The appeal of science fiction, and fantasy, is in the escapism, the look at what could be, and the sheer imagination and suspension of belief it requires – and how despite its groundings in the far-fetched, real-life often comes to imitate the imaginings of those insane enough to love science fiction. I completed my first book at 15, and attempted but failed to get published. Looking back on it, this is probably more of a relief to those who like to read. It certainly allowed me to do more boring things, such as work, first in banking as an office junior, then in utilities in procurement, then manufacturing and latterly construction in commercial roles. It's more logical than it sounds written down. Writing is and always will be a hobby first and foremost, a love and a way to express. An escape from reality, whilst holding a mirror up to all that is good and bad in the world. I hope you enjoy reading my books, almost as much as I enjoyed writing them!
