Demon Princes · #2

The Killing Machine

Jack Vance

"My goal is to produce a nightmare quality of fright, and to maintain it over an appreciable duration... once an apparentlty sensitive area is located, the operator to the best of his ingenuity employs means to emphasize, to dramatize this fear, then augment it by orders of magnitude." – Kokor Hekkus.

Kokor Hekkus was one of the five Demon Princes who had masterminded the massacre of Kirth Gersten's parents and his entire home world. As such he was on Gersten's list for vengeance.

Though Kokor Hekkus, known as the Killing Machine, was the most dreaded criminal in the universe, wanted and feared by every law agency existing, Kirth Gersten set out to locate him... and to prove that this monster in human form could be made to pay in his own coin for his most heinous atrocity.
