[Simon Rack 03] • Backflash

His mind torn apart by a madman's gun, past and present flow together through the brain of Commander Simon Rack. And both bear the taint of death.

On the frontier planet of Zayin, young Midman Rack makes love to his first woman... and kills his first man.

He meets two men: Eugene Bogart, who is to become his closest friend in the most lethally effective team in the Galactic Security Service, and Harley Corman, his fiercest enemy.

The prize in the desert fortress of Xoachtl is the treasure of a civilization. The loser is a world edging close to the grey desolation of extinction.
