JON AND LOBO ARE BACK -- AND THE ACTION IS BLAZING

The job looks simple enough: Jon Moore, the nanotech-enhanced, world-weary, ex-soldier-of-fortune, agrees to help a con man, a friend from a part of his past he'd rather forget. The task: protect a very special young boy. The deal doesn't stay simple, though, as each move Jon and Lobo make results in more danger and more enemies. The situation grows even more complicated when a beautiful woman with an unclear agenda joins them in their quest.

The best con man Jon's ever known, a ruthless gang boss, a heavily armed group of religious fanatics, and an interstellar government out to clean up a dangerous frontier world hurtle together toward an explosive climax—and Jon and Lobo are caught in the middle.
