Slanted Jack a novel that bobs and weaves, takes you on a headlong
race through a strange but believable future, and never slows down. The
job looks simple enough: Jon Moore, the nanotech-enhanced, world-weary,
soldier of fortune, agrees to help a con man, a friend from a part of
his past he'd rather forget, protect a very special young boy. The deal
doesn't stay simple, as each move Jon and Lobo make results in more
danger and more enemies. The situation grows even more complicated when
a beautiful woman with an unclear agenda joins them in their quest.
The best con man Jon's ever known, a ruthless gang boss, a heavily armed
group of religious fanatics, 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.
