    For reasons Max barely understands, the Vaaach decide that they have an obligation to train him to be a Vaaach warrior, or at least as close as a puny, fruit-eating human can come.     Max finds himself on a strange, unknown world, under the tutelage of a nine-foot tall, carnivorous Vaaach drill instructor, learning an alien way of fighting, and stalking and making war. Not only is the training like nothing Max has ever imagined, there's the small matter of the final exam: a real mission involving real combat against real Krag with the life or death of an entire Union naval task force hanging in the balance. Max is going to have to find resources of cunning, creativity, strength, endurance, and courage far beyond his years if he's going to survive and save thousands of his comrades who--unknown to them--are depending on the slender thread of the young officer's abilities for their very survival.      The Hunters of Vermin is a short novel (just over 62,500 words, slightly longer than such classic novels as Lord of the Flies and All Quiet on the Western Front), that can be read as a stand-alone adventure or as a part of the longer series of Max Robichaux space tales. Readers who have never met Max Robichaux or encountered Honsinger's fiction before will find a thrilling, self-contained adventure. Fans of Honsinger's other books will gain interesting insight into the events that helped make Max Robichaux the officer we meet in the "Man of War" series, as this novel covers events immediately after the conclusion of the novella Deadly Nightshade and twelve years before the beginning of the "Man of War" Series.     This novel packs everything Honsinger's readers expect--realistically staged combat, deep character development, believable aliens, and the thrill of deep space adventure--into a compact package. The Hunters of Vermin is a military coming-of-age story in the vein of the early Horatio Hornblower books, but set centuries in the future against the backdrop of an interstellar war that threatens the survival of the human race.

    Each was armed with a 9mm Beretta automatic pistol, yet there are no signs of a struggle. As the police investigation gets into full swing, Detective Inspector Nevin Brown of the Royal Ulster Constabulary steps into the frame. Recently arrived in London on a six-month attachment to the Metropolitan police, Nevin’s natural flair for analysis and his years of experience in the field in Northern Ireland come to the attention of his superiors. He is charged with the task of heading up his own enquiry into the double murder. Nevin’s investigation soon leads him to Countess Natasha Romanov, a cruel and glamorous cultural Russian cultural attaché, and Ivan Dragenoff, her physically imposing bodyguard and manservant. Nevin is convinced of the countess’ guilt, but her meticulous nature has ensured that, other than one eyewitness, he has no hard evidence to back up his claims. Yet when his only witness to the crime is found at the bottom of a flight of stairs with her neck broken, Nevin also realises that something is rotten in the Metropolitan Police. Only a select few police officers knew the whereabouts and identity of the witness, and now she has been murdered. To make matters worse, MI5 have received intelligence that Nevin’s nemesis, a vicious IRA assassin by the name of Anthony Kane, has arrived in London and is preparing to carry out one last assassination that could have drastic consequences for the Northern Ireland peace process. Before long, Nevin is drawn into an intricate web of loyalty and treachery. A plot involving the Russian mafia, Colombian drug cartels and the Provisional IRA begins to unravel, leading to an exhilarating climax that will jeopardise his own life, the lives of the ones he loves and his unerring commitment to justice.
