The Mechmen of Canis-9: A Three Against the Stars Adventure

In this rousing sequel to Three Against The Stars, Sergeants Seamus O'Hara, Claudia Akira, Fernando Cortez and a platoon of Marines are deployed to Canis-9 - Devoora, the Ocean Planet. Their mission: find seven indestructible robot warriors hidden there for seventy years. Most of the platoon survives a crash-landing but are left stranded in a hostile environment of deadly sea predators. Rescued by native Tulavi islanders, the Marines get caught up in a war between this mysterious, maritime civilization and another indigenous race, the Malvarians, who hunt and harvest the eggs of the giant kaizsu - the Sea Dragons sacred to the Tulavi. As the Marines set out to complete their mission they discover a secret known only by the Tulavi: the endangered kaizsu are the key to Devoora's ecosystem and the future of all life on the planet. With memorable heroes, unforgettable villains and plenty of action, this interplanetary adventure pays tribute to every sea- and space-faring classic that inspired it. Journey beyond your horizon as the Devil Dogs of Company E embark on a quest to find The MechMen of Canis-9. "Bonadonna has constructed an empire and galaxy that largely escapes the looming shadow of Star Wars and Star Trek to exist as an original work in its own right." - William Patrick Maynard, Black Gate Magazine, author of The Terror of Fu Manchu and The Destiny of Fu Manchu.
