"Van Name has created a hero worth at least a dozen more novels . . . I
want this to be a series. I want to read a new one every year."
--Orson Scott Card
Jon Moore: A nanotech-enhanced warrior who wants nothing more than a
quiet life and a way back to his strange home world. Lobo: An
AI-enhanced Predator-Class Assault Vehicle, a mobile fortress equipped
for any environment from the seabed to interstellar space. TWO WOLVES IN
A GALAXY OF LARGER PREDATORS!
For the first time in a Jon & Lobo book, "My Sister, My Self," the short
story which introduced Jon Moore.
One Jump Ahead: Jon Moore wanted only to relax on the pristine planet
of Macken--but Macken was the secret battleground of two
megacorporations, both determined to control the local jump gate and the
riches of an undeveloped world. Finding allies and enemies among
terrorist groups and elite mercenaries, gun-runners and the only kind of
government possible on a frontier short on rules and long on riches, Jon
and Lobo fight to a climax with a corporate army that can't afford to
leave any witnesses. Exotic settings, fast action, real tech,
mechanically-enhanced animals--and a beautiful woman who's as deadly as
a cobra!
Slanted Jack: The job looked simple enough: Jon agreed to help a con
man, a friend from a part of his past he'd rather forget, protect a very
special young boy. But the deal didn't stay simple, as each move Jon and
Lobo made resulted in more danger and more enemies. The best con man
Jon's ever known, a ruthless gang boss, a heavily armed group of
religious fanatics, a beautiful woman with a mysterious agenda, and an
interstellar government out to clean up a dangerous frontier world rush
together toward an explosive climax--and Jon and Lobo are caught in the
middle.
Plus new introductions by the author, making this a package that every
Jon & Lobo fan will want to buy.
