abstract:The Killing Machine (1964) is a science fiction novel by American writer Jack Vance, the second in his "Demon Princes" series, in which Kirth Gersen, having brought arch-villain Malagate the Woe to justice, sets his sights on Kokor Hekkus, another of the Demon Princes. The name Kokor Hekkus, which means "killing machine" in the language of the planet Thamber, does not refer to Hekkus's own predilection for homicide, but to his fondness for horrific and murderous devices, including the giant robotic executioner that first gained him his nickname.
Croft, the relateable heroine, became less of a realistic person and more of a remorseless killingmachine, the sort that populates most games in this genre.
And the Iraqis would be sitting there, with themachine guns firing, firing, firing, killing a lot of these guys but there would be more coming, and these machine guns would just heat up and jam.
