Product Description

Product Description

The Mission follows a group of mercenaries as they take a dying scientist to the planet Valdorion in what they believe is a search for a cure. Under advisement from Senator Tyrell and against his better judgment, the commander of the Undead agrees to take the youngest member of his mercenaries on the mission to the distant world. Mack gives fourteen year old Darkblood the task of protecting and transporting Victor Magnus, a scientist who is dying as a result of an accident in his lab. It is only when they reach Valdorion, the planet's only city, that Darkblood discovers the dark truth behind their mission.

3.0 out of 5 stars Book Review: The Mission - Bill Talcott 13 Oct 2012
By Booketta
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
A good, light adventure story that is quick and easy to read. A sound plot, good characters, the book moves along at a fast pace taking the reader on a journey. It has all the elements of good and bad, a little hint of romance, failure and success, everything to entertain in this sci-fi adventure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome story! 12 Dec 2011
By Ashley Fontainne - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Mission was an incredible book. I do not read normally read this genre, but after reading Bill's fantastic story, I may just reconsider!

When an author can create a world that does not exist and place characters in it that you grow to love (or hate!), that is the sign of a great author. Bill's development of scenes was so descriptive that I actually could picture the fantasy world he created. Lovers of science fiction books will eat this novel up as it explores human greed, treachery, lies, global type conspiracies and the depths that evil people will go to when world domination is at stake.

It also explores the powerful nature of love and friendship as well as the redeeming qualities of self-sacrifice for the greater good of mankind. What more can a reader ask for in a novel?

Cleverly written and full of intricate detail, this book comes alive in your hands as you hold your breath at times, waiting for surprises from the next chapter.

Pick it up today. You won't be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Story 12 Mar 2012

I really enjoyed this book. I am looking forward to more by this author. He kept the suspense going, and the pieces didn't start to fall into place until well into the book. I highly recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars great scope 10 Mar 2012
By heff - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
The author uses a rare skill to begin a story part way through and then effectively communicate prior events that led to where we are. There is good resolution,and it is a complete story, but the author has allowed room to continue if desired. Character complexity has been attempted, and succeeds for the most part. There is room to improve this aspect, and is the only reason it is not 5 star. That being said, it is definitely worth the read.
