    About this ebook

    Banished to boredom on Mars, Rex prays something will happen. However, with more the 10,000 heavily armed space soldiers storming down on his position, things are not going to go easy. Rex's blessed maiden is going to throw him more death than he can handle, all while he tries to protect himself and his team from orders so stupid they could be considered a joke. Action, intensity and Rex!

      There once lived a dragon named Deathwing. Well, at least that’s what they called him. Deathwing was growing old, far too old for his liking. The joints of his claws ached and groaned under his ever-growing weight and his scales were beginning to los

      Rex Pain of Mars?

      THE WORLD BURNS RED LIKE THE FIRES OF HELL COME TO LIFE ON A WAR TORN DUMP CALLED MARS. The heat of the sun is so strong that, when it reflects off the hard worn surface of the planet, it is enough to set Rex's suit to a long steady beeping. That seems to mark the time better than the internal clock, which he has pulled up nice and large in the center of his suits display.

      Tell me that it's going to get cooler, Eddy.

      The tall black man in his light red suit, who seems to be constantly fiddling with a small keyboard that is invisible to all without a tactical computer equipped, doesn't look up.

      The global weather service reports that it is going to get even hotter over the next rotation. Your suit might even explode.

      Great. I've always wanted to be a floating blood patty. I'm sure that my mother will be so proud.

      Edwards sniggers. He sounds like a small animal digesting something unpleasant.

      You earthlings are so useless in the sun, he says snarkily. If you had...

      Stop, Eddy. I don’t think our sanity will last the rest of that.

      The man shrugs. His metallic shoulders go up and the sounds of gears and stabilizers crunching fills the air.

      I always liked that one. Why kill off a good thing? You might learn something.

      How did I get stuck with this super nerd? Rex muses. I'm sure I paid last year’s taxes. Maybe Command really has it in for me.

      Rex looks over to the shorter, slimmer man beside him and reaches over to tap the side of his helmet. It sends a
