Deathwish World

Life under a Deathwish policy was fun while it lasted, but for Deathwisher Roy Cos it was far more than that. For him, gaining access to great wealth in exchange for becoming a target for hired killers was a political act: You can buy a lot of media attention with a million pseudobucks, and Roy had a cause worth dying for.

Already Roy has survived twice the term of the average Deathwisher, and people are getting interested in what he has to say. That's why Worldgov has labeled him a Special Case and put Mercenaries Inc. on his trail. No matter how smart and tough he may be, no matter how just his cause, even flight to High Orbit can't save Roy now...
