Présentation de l'éditeur

The Voltarian invaders are getting down and dirty . . . in the deadliest of games.

The price: Planet Earth.

Voltarian Royal Officer Jettero Heller has heart, nerve and a quick mind on his side. His archenemy Soltan Gris has cunning, ruthlessness and a devious plan on his. But what neither of them has is money—and without that they may as well pack up and go back to Voltar. Because as every earthling knows—no pay, no play.

Heller’s solution is a weekend in Atlantic City, where he puts a new spin on gambling. He’s got a foolproof system, guaranteeing that he’ll win every bet he makes.

Gris, on the other hand, has found an unexpected source of income. His body. Turns out there are certain women, with a very perverse sense of humor, willing to pay to play with him.

Into this world of dirty money, dirty tricks and dirty games, the wildest of wild cards is about to change everything. Countess Krak is back—and this voluptuous Voltarian, condemned murderess and love of Heller’s life could prove to be the key player in coming to grips with a FORTUNE OF FEAR.

“The adventure, colored by broad strokes of satire, is written with a vigor.” —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

Présentation de l'éditeur

Fortune of Fear blazes an explosive trail from a secret Voltarian base in Turkey, across the Mediterranean, through Swiss banks, to the Mafia-controlled casinos of Atlantic City and the mean streets of New York. While Jettero Heller continues his mission to keep Earth from destroying itself, his evil opponent, Soltan Gris, attempts to sabotage Heller's plans at every turn with some vicious plots of his own. The addition of the Countess Krak, recently arrived from Voltar, and Gris' sudden acquisition of over $250 million in gold make for an action-packed fifth installment of Mission Earth. . . space opera in the grand tradition . ; - Library Journal
