Death Hawk is a 25th century salvage expert. With his protoplasmic partner Cyke, he travels the Orion Spur in a rattletrap spaceship, the Peregrine, looking for the next big score. The hard-luck hero finds himself engaged in a quest to discover the secrets behind the ancient alien race known as the Skril and the sole surviving relic of their culture—the mysterious Soulworm.
Mark Ellis
Mark Ellis is a thriller writer from Swansea and a former barrister and entrepreneur. Mark grew up under the shadow of his parents' experience of the Second World War. His father served in the wartime navy and died a young man. His mother told him stories of watching the heavy bombardment of Swansea from the safe vantage point of a hill in Llanelli, and of attending tea dances in wartime London under the bombs and doodlebugs.
In consequence, Mark has always been fascinated by World War II and, in particular, the Home Front and the fact that while the nation was engaged in a heroic endeavour, crime flourished. Murder, robbery, theft and rape were rife.
Author of the DCI Frank Merlin series, Mark is also a member of the Crime Writer's Association.
He lives in London.
