While I consider myself a science fiction/fantasy fan, I must admit that, realistically, I’m more of a fan of fantasy. My taste in science fiction reading is fairly limited. I am not nearly as enamored of “hard” sci-fi: pages of realistic and scientifically feasible explanations of how the featured Mechawidget actually works. I’m really just into good futuristic yarns. This may be why I tend to watch more science fiction movies and TV than read science fiction books. That and it has been fa

A victim of my enjoyment of its prequel. The protagonist continues to kill or screw his way through the book, which actually does get wearisome. The author also makes the mistake of trying for a more cohesive plot and set of characters. I could sit back and enjoy the overblown action when it didn't really make sense -- just a patchwork quilt of sex and violence in varied places -- but making it part of something purposeful turns on my "oh really? I mean, really?" sniffer, and this

Death’s Head: Maximum Offense was entertaining, if lacking in thought-provoking material. The narrative was action packed, gory, thrilling, and somewhat disturbing. In this book I learnt more about Sven and about the events that took place in the first book. The plot was exciting, had a number of surprises and plot twists. A fun, if superficial read.

Mini review on first read in June 2008:
After the unexpectedly good Death's Head 1 that I loved, this one was a let down to some extent. Sure, it's the same Sven bedding or killing anything in sight depending on circumstances, but it gets somewhat tiresome after a while. There were some excellent scenes, notably an arena duel to be remembered, but I hope the series will evolve from here rather than get stuck in a rut;
I considered it a 3 star book then

Was a big fan of the first Death's Head, but this on did not measure. Plot seemed to ramble and at times was simply incoherent. A number of pieces of the plot seemed randomly inserted just to create situations for Sven to pull yet another ridiculous feat. It simply wasn't that great of a read.

Continuing story of a man who is either not fully human, or one of the last fully humans left. Hard to say. Good junky military sci-fi.

An insight into what my teenage son is reading. It is violent science fiction with some sexual content. Perfect for a teenager.

Impressive followup to Death Head. However the plot meanders a little as Sven and his team of auxilaries Death Heads are on a secret mission ( so secret it appears the author doesnt even know whats going on although it sort of ties together in the end). Naturally there is a huge body count and Sven and his team get to kill many of the enemy.
I liked it a lot.

Good, fast moving story. You really need to read the first installment in the series in order to appreciate this second book. Sven and his crew kick ass once again and his talking, wise cracking, all knowing SIG gun keep your interest throughout. Good, rough edged, sexy sci-fi. Recommended.

A short summary of this book (series.)
"Sven!"
"Sven..."
"Sven."
Some snarky gun talking back.
"Sven, no."
"Sven."
The end.

If you liked the first Death's Head, you'll like this... it is more of the same mindless military sci-fi.
