VIGILANTE!

'You remember Taylor's wife,' he said grimly. 'Well, this is for her!'
His fingers tightened around the hilt and he leaped forwards, dipping his hand to the left and whipping it across the front of Billy's body at vicious speed. The honed blade sliced diagonally through his skin, his flesh, opening him up from belly to shoulder. Eyes wide with amazement, Billy tried to pull at the folds as if to close them again. Blood pumped over his hands, his wrists; he was steeped in it.
Finally Herne slashed the bayonet beneath the huge head and a red line appeared from one side of his cheekbone to the other.
'Christ!' said Charlie. 'Jesus Christ!'

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

In 1972 he became a full-time freelance author and journalist and for many years thereafter published short science fiction stories in both Britain and the U.S. In 1974 he published his first novel, Earth Lies Sleeping which introduces galactic secret agent Simon Rack. The series is shortly to appear in electronic form under the PP imprint. At around the same time, Laurence published a fantasy saga of Hells Angels under the name 'Mick Norman'. The four books, Angels from Hell, Angel Challenge, Guardian Angels and Angels on my Mind, were later repackaged as The Angel Chronicles by Creation Books. Laurence went on to enjoy a highly prolific career, publishing dozens of novels under his own name as well as various pen names. Today Laurence is best-remembered for his post apocalyptic Deathlands series, for which he penned more than thirty novels under the name 'James Axler'. He was also a gifted western writer, and among his many western credits are such series as Crow, Apache, Herne the Hunter, Caleb Thorn and Gunslinger.
