"And who was he exactly?"

"The unhopeful rider named Cabal."

Sylvester frowned. "You want to try out your standup routine at another time when we're not hip deep in a massacre?"

"That's how the cat talked, Sly. He was rapping out some weird garbled poetry speak style slang that would have had me laughing my ass off if I wasn't trying so hard to keep from getting killed by him."

Sylvester saw Mongrel was totally serious and said; "That bad?"

"Sly, this guy was amped up with enough cybernetics that killing everybody in this house was no more trouble for him than taking a leak. I caught him off guard because I don't think he's really had to fight anybody that could go toe-to-toe with him. But he'll be ready for me next time."

"Damn it, Mongrel... who are we up against and what do they want?"

"In A MAN CALLED MONGREL Derrick Ferguson plunges us into a world where the fantastic is commonplace, the villains are dastardly, and even the heroes aren't above using a bit of deceit, and may have a few dark secrets of their own. Drawing from a mix of comic book and classic pulp influences, Derrick mixes a heady, and eminently readable, brew of cliffhanging pulp action and intrigue that once again demonstrates why he is the heir apparent to the pulp throne." - From Joel Jenkins, writer of EXILES OF THE DIRE PLANET and CLUB RED
