Starship Troopers: Dead Man’s Hand

Based very loosely on the universe created by noted science fiction master Robert Anson Heinlein in his Hugo Award winning novel, Starship Troopers, these tales owe more to the motion picture adaptation of that same book and (possibly) the short lived animated series.

In this second tale of the crack mobile infantry group known as Tamari’s Tigers, Will Tanner comes under immense pressure as he alone testifies against Sergeant Lock, who escapes the gallows only by the slimmest of margins. Tanner must go back to his team and his ship, forever looking over his shoulder. A sequel to Tony Lee’s Blaze of Glory for Mongoose Publishing, the story continues in the third installment, again from Markosia, entitled Damaged Justice.
