Publisher's Blurb – Lower Cover
High in the Rockies, the school stood grey and silent. It had been built to withstand the winds of time. Its walls were molybdenum steel, reinforced with cross-grained layers of duroplast and concrete blocks. This was America State's little known, deeply feared School for Assassins. Men trained there lived by a philosophy hard as diamond, cold as ice. Their lifework was Death.
THE THIEF OF THOTH
Quicksilver was the most famous and deadly of all the Licensed Legal Criminals and Confidential Agents in the Near Stars. He lived in a castle of organic pink quartz on the planetoid Carvel in that asteroid belt known as the Chain of Astarte. The castle clung to a sheer crag of dark green coral which rose from a sea of heavy opal smoke. Its master had grown rich on the proceeds of interplanetary crime. |
