Bred for war. Engineered for conflict. Destined for rebellion.

My second 2000AD tie-in novel features one of my favourite characters from the comic's long and illustrious history - the Genetic Infantryman Rogue Trooper.

ROGUE TROOPER: BLOOD RELATIVE

Sole surviving member of his unit, the gene-engineered supersoldier known as the Rogue Trooper is cut off from Souther lines and hunted remorselessly by the enemy Nort forces - and by his own side, who consider him a deserter.

Rogue is hot on the trail of a man with no name, a figure they call the Traitor General - a Souther officer who sold out Rogue and his fellow GIs in a horrific ambush known as the Quartz Zone Massacre.

Three of Rogue's buddies travel with him on this endless quest for revenge, dead soldiers whose personalities exist on bio-chips stored in his high-tech weaponry; like Rogue, Gunnar, Bagman and Helm long for vengeance and the day they can finally go home to be remade as whole men once more.

When his latest lead on the Traitor General takes him back to the stark glass wilderness of the Quartz Zone and the site of the massacre, Rogue gets much more than he bargained for at the hands of a unit of brutal bio-warriors...and the brilliantly ruthless scientist who created them.
