Amir Tarkos is one of the only humans in the Predator Corp, the most feared and respected military force in the Galaxy. The Predators seek to prevent and punish lifecrimes: violations against ecosystems. With his partner Bria, a bear-like carnivore, Tarkos is given a dangerous and difficult mission.

Deep space probes have located the last surviving Ulltrians, a race that once waged a holy war to force competition among the ecosystems of known space, and as a result nearly extinguished much of the life in the Galaxy. Tarkos and Bria must locate the World Hammer, a pair of co-orbiting sunless planets that are the last refuge of the Ulltrians, and discover the Ulltrian plans for a second attack on the Galactic Alliance.

To save Galactic civilization, Tarkos and Bria will have to work with a team of strange aliens and artificial intelligences, explore the perilous ruins of an ancient world, dare the depths of an ocean that engulfs a dark planet, and fight a fierce battle in the ice rings of a gas giant.

Evolution Commandos collects together the first three issues of the Predator Space Chronicles (I: Well of Furies, II: World Hammer, III: Ice Sky Storm), forming an epic novel.

REVIEWS

"The first three books in Craig DeLancey’s pulse-pounding space opera Evolution Commandos... are together in one volume. They are impossible to put down and filled with exciting action in an alien-filled galaxy that humans have just joined. Amir Tarkos is the only human in the Harmonizer Corps that keep peace in the Galactic Alliance. His commander, Bria, a bear-like Sussurat is terse and mission obsessed. Five thousand years before, the Ulltrians had almost destroyed galactic civilization. Thought destroyed, they had hidden out on an extra-solar planet called World Hammer. Tarkos and Bria’s mission involves first finding a human archeologist in the Ulltrian home planet, Well of Furies, which involves also recovering a book in the middle of a hurricane, that sends them to World Hammer to face one of the Ulltrians and recover information of their plans for an Ice Sky Storm attack on the Neelee home planet. It doesn’t help that they are imprisoned for treason and have to escape. Wow!" -- Philadelphia Free Press
