Synopsis: They were The Expendables - some genuine volunteers, others not. They were the chosen ones - the people who had been "selected" to travel far into space and find new planets for human colonisation. Kratos was the first planet of call, inhabited by gigantic creatures that swayed and roared, that were blessed with seven eyes and mouths cavernous enough to suck in a handful of humans at a time. The Death Worms of Kratos is the first volume in a thrilling new series of unknown worlds by one of science fiction's best-known writers. (from the front flap of the Severn House edition)
