AboutBill Denholm Expertise I have a large collection of paperback SF. I am a serious collector. I can answer quetions about books by a particular author or books published by a particular publisher. I have a special interest in cover art and the artists who do the covers.
Experience I have been collecting SF paperbacks since the 1950s and I have many reference books about Science Fiction.
Publications Various magazines for paperback book collectors.
Question I am trying to find a book. The basic plot is that a planet of elite warriors/assassins is attacked and wiped out. Our hero is one of these assassins returning from a mission and he becomes the last of his kind. He is made super strong by surgery and tries to find out who is behind the destruction of the planet. The conclusion is a fight between himself and a man who has leathery protective plates in his head! Any ideas?
Answer Dean,
Since I don't think I can help you, you might want to try Amazon's SF forum. I will keep your question in the back of my mind, though, and something may come to me.
If this were a series, I would say that it might be the Sand Wars series by Charles Ingrid that was published by DAW back in the 1980s. I'm not sure about a stand alone novel, though.
