The Virtual-Reality Mercenaries of
A Boy and His Tank Face a New Menace
¾and There's Nothing Virtual About It!
First, the involuntary colonists of New Kashubia rescued their planet from crushing debt by becoming virtual-reality mercenaries, then they successfully revolted against the oppressive government of Earth, but now they are menaced by the Mitchegai, a species whose biology has made them inherently evil. The carnivorous adults lay and abandon vast numbers of eggs, some of which grow into vegetarian juveniles, which are the adults' only food supply. Their culture has no family life, they eat only meat, have nothing like sex., and their main pleasures are gambling, art, and killing each other. They are an ancient civilization, millions of years old, with thousands of densely populated star systems in their realm. Lacking an immune system, they must completely sterilize any planet before they colonize it. The region of the galaxy they occupy is rapidly expanding . . . and Human Space is their next frontier!
At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).
Praise for Leo Frankowski and A Boy and His Tank
"When I teach science fiction, I use Frankowski's books as an example of how to do it right." ¾Gene Wolfe
". . . a literate military adventure laced with political allegory¾and a great deal of fun." ¾Starlog
". . . the action is gripping, and there are plenty of novel twists and ironic moments." ¾Locus
"A blend of Keith Laumer's Bolos and David Drake's Slammers. . . ." ¾Science Fiction Chronicle

O autoru
Leo Frankowski's popular Cross-Time Engineer series, the first three novels of which fill this volume, has gone through six novels to date, with frequent reprintings and translated editions in Italy, Spain, and Poland. In addition, he wrote the novels A Boy and His Tank, The Fata Morgana and Conrad's Time Machine for Baen. In collaboration with Dave Grossman, he also wrote The War With Earth, Kren of the Mitchegai, and The Two-Space War. Frankowski was nominated for the John W. Campbell award for best new writer. His occupations ranged from scientist in an electro-optical research lab to chief engineer to company president. His work in chemical and optical instrumentation earned him several patents.
