Liege-Killer and Christopher Hinz

by Mar 7, 2018Wonderings1 comment

When I was kid back in the 80s, I loved a book called Liege-Killer by Christopher Hinz. It’s set two hundred years after a nuclear apocalypse that forces humanity to flee earth, but everyone still remembers the most cause of that catastrophe—the Paratwa, genetically modified killers who occupy two bodies controlled by one vicious mind. The legendary Paratwa named Reemul, known as the Liege-Killer, was the strongest of them all. And someone woke him. I always thought, and still think, Liege-Killer would make a kick-ass movie. Reading that book was important to me.

Anyway, I asked Mr. Hinz if I could name a character in honor of the Paratwa, and he agreed, which I think is pretty awesome. So, here’s the book that inspired a kid for thirty years.

    I have LOVED the Paratwa Saga for 30 years! I still think it’s some of the best sci-fi ever imagined, right up there with Asimov, Clarke, & much better in many ways than the pop- culture epics. NO ONE has a more original idea than Mr. Hinz; Paratwa are characters you just love & hate. They’re the baddest guys out there, but you kind of would want to be one too. I would love to see a movie made; with the right producers, director, etc. it would be out of this world. And of course, anymore books would be gladly bought at once!
