    About this ebook

    WHO IS MALCOLM WEIR?
    Waking up in an operating room, much to the surprise of the attending surgeons, Malcolm Weir frantically fights his way out of a secret government installation, located in downtown Los Angeles. Battling through a mass of armed guards and meta-gene operatives, the cyborg warrior realizes he has no memory of how he got there.

    The past 11 months are gone.

    With a hole in his mind, Weir must retrace his steps for the past year, fighting his way through the nearly endless horde of super powered mercenaries and assassins the government sends after him.

    Travel along with Weir, facing some of the most intense action ever put to paper, along with a body count of ridiculous proportions, as he tracks down the secrets trapped in his head.

    In the end, Weir must stand alone against a former friend and a squad of the deadliest killers ever created, all to learn the terrifying truth behind Project: Hardwired.

    Fans of films like "Bourne Identity" or "Smoking Aces," or the comics of Deadpool and Wolverine, will love the over-the-top science fiction action of "The Cestus Concern" by Mat Nastos. The sequel, THE CESTUS CONTRACT, is available now!

    "With The Cestus Concern, Mat Nastos crafts his most daring and imaginative work to date. Thrilling and action-packed, Cestus moves at a breakneck pace. Nastos continues to show why he is the next great voice in sci-fi." --Rob Liefeld, Creator of Deadpool, Cable, Youngblood and X-force, and founder of Image Comics

    "The Cestus Concern kicks off in a bold fashion the refuses to relent. Weaving between The Six Million Dollar Man and Universal Soldier, Mat Nastos sculpts a story of high-tech science fiction that rivals masters of the genre and adds yet another successful story to his already impressive body of work." --James Ninness, writer of Dust: Withered Earth and Macabre Rising

    "Nastos delivers visceral sci-fi action from the very first page, and never lets up." --Tyler James, writer of Red Ten and co-creator of ComixTribe.com.

    "Equal parts Terminator, Frankenstein and Universal Soldier, Nastos reinvents the classic motifs, creating something truly exciting." --Adam Lance Garcia, author of Green Lama: Unbound.

      This book was seriously awesome to read. From the moment I began reading this book I was unable to put it down. There was nonstop action from start to finish and I loved every minute of it. It makes a great sequel to The Cestus Concern. I sincerely recommend this book to anyone who loves non-stop action in their novels.
    • 1/5
      I received a review copy of "The Cestus Contract: Weir Codex Book 2" by Mat Nastos (Nifty Entertainment) through Librarything.com.Mr. Nastos writes a fast moving thriller about the trials and tribulations of a special forces operative, spy, military whatever cyborg. That's fine, but Mr. Nastos' sentences are turgid and I simply could not slog through the book. If you don't mind the style, there is probably an exciting story here. Give the first chapter a try before buying.
    • 3/5
      If you like action movies you will like this book. The book features many fight scenes and political intrigue. Not my thing, thus the three stars.
