Birth of Heavy Metal

Sal needs to work on something that has bugged him from the beginning.

His dissertation.

Born from the fertile imagination of bestselling author Michael Anderle...

There is a group engaging four new mercenaries, prepping them with simulated operations in the ZOO.

How come?

Courtney has approved a new member of her team in California and Sal isn't sure it was a good idea.

This time, there is another group learning what it takes to plunder the ZOO. Can they live through it?

Salinger Jacobs is working to build his company as fast as possible. Will he make mistakes he can't think his way out of?

Sometimes, you find that your best relationships have your back.

NOTE: There may or may not be gratuitous sex in this book. Or it might actually play into a later book with funny talk about men vs. women's abilities and capabilities. There is ABSOLUTELY cursing in this book. LOTS of upset cursing, cursing out of anger, fear, and other emotional issues related to carnivorous alien flora or fauna eating humans who don't say 'darn.' LOTS of gratuitous cursing just because the author finds it funny, too. There is death and sadness...and more death. In fact, it's a blender of blood out in the ZOO. Man vs. Alien nature seems to justify ugly results. Plus, people have emotional hang-ups. Expect to smile, laugh, cry, and perhaps have a spate of jealousy or two. Further, there might be explicit sex, thank you sex, and you're welcome sex. Finally, there is no Coke in the ZOO. That is probably the worst and most offensive trait in these stories. This is Michael Todd, and I approve of the shenanigans pulled within the ZOO stories.
