A dirty deal was struck. Humanity was allowed to keep 300 rebellious worlds. In return, we declared war on a powerful enemy from beyond the frontier.
A frantic build-up of forces has begun, but the task is hopeless. Seeking allies, Earth’s legions are sent to Blood World. A planet on the fringe of known space, where the people only respect masters of combat. Earth’s Legions must impress them, but other alien powers have been invited to join the contest. The prize consists of billions of loyal troops – Earth must win.
Fighting and dying and fighting again, the struggle is half-mad – but so is James McGill.
Blood World is the eighth book in the Undying Mercenaries Series.

Poison him, then shoot, stab, and hang him over a roaring fire. Sell tickets to the event!
Another wonderful entry into the Undying Mercenary series Another wonderful entry into the Undying Mercenary series. McGill once again finds himself in the middle of a military mission which is just the tip of the iceberg for a bunch of political machinations. And once McGill masterfully navigates these treacherous waters. **Small Spoiler: It was funny to see McGill’s lecherous tendencies used against him, although in the end the negative results for himself were minimal.** It was really nice to see a lot of the old characters back in action.
