The Hammer Falls

Too many losses. Too many gruesome injuries. Too many deaths.

In a world of corporate oligarchy, environmental degradation, and blood-drenched circuses, Horace “The Hammer” Harkness is a pit fighter twenty years past his prime. He loves the life of screaming fans and thundering theme music, but his heart will no longer regenerate like it once did.

To survive he had to borrow money from the Russian mob. When they threaten his girlfriend, an exotic dancer named Lilly, he takes the offensive against the gangsters, only to land himself in an even deeper hole.  

On the run from a ruthless foe, Horace must find a way to save himself and Lilly before his heart gives out for good.
