Body Holiday - Shadow Players (The Adventures of Milla Carter)

Revenge needs no salt to taste this good! "It's damn near impossible to put down. Milla Carter, the sexy, all-action heroine of Derek E Pearson's novel Body Holiday, is back in the sequel Shadow Players. This time, Milla's war against the sinister Body Holiday Foundation and its twisted founder is more than just personal. She's out to destroy them both and, quite frankly, who can blame her? This outfit makes big bucks from normalising some of the most depraved forms of human behaviour. Nothing is off-limits where these creeps are concerned and they deserve every bit of what's coming. One thing you can say about Pearson is that he's the possessor of an extraordinary imagination that brilliantly assaults every variant of the sci-fi genre. His writing is vivid, urban and unflinching in its descriptions, taking the reader on a breathtaking journey through Saturn's rings, outer-world 'constructs', altered perceptions and a glorious African landscape smouldering with sexual heat and the odour of violence. This is hard hitting storytelling with full-on language and a brutally splendid plot twist, which, if you make it to the end, will leave you crossing your legs!"
