Horace "The Hammer" Harkness refuses to give up, despite pushing his genetically modified physique past the point of regenerating from another death in the arena. Washed up, desperate for a return to fame and fortune, he borrows cash from a Russian loan shark to rebuild his body for a major comeback. But instead of repaying his debt, his gives the money to Lilly, the woman he loves...and signs his own death warrant. He soon discovers that the "loan shark" was none other than the Number Two man of a global cyber-syndicate. Forced to go on the run, Harkness joins a traveling gladiator roadshow where he can lay low until he figures out what to do. But when mobsters threaten Lilly and her kids and everyone he cares about, he realizes there's only one way to finally settle the score. Has Harkness got what it takes to hammer the entire Russian cyber-mob? The Hammer Falls is a hard-hitting standalone scifi techno-thriller.

With pugilistic, pit-fighting ferocity—and a surprising human core—Travis Heermann throws science fiction into the squared circle and watches it writhe in excitement. Grab a ringside seat and hold on tight." - Jason Heller, Hugo Award-winning author of Strange Stars and editor of Cyber World "Travis Heermann's THE HAMMER FALLS is a raucous, entertaining, action-packed riot. Like his characters, Heermann punches hard from beginning to end, a skilled storyteller who knows exactly what he's doing. THE HAMMER FALLS reads like pure pulp--but like Philip José Farmer, Dashiell Hammett, and the other pulp masters, Heermann brings real heart and depth to his characters. Amidst the heavy-hitting violence, there's care and comedy and endearing sacrifice. Do not miss this book." - J.L. Forrest, author of the Songs at the End of the World series You're still here?
