Evil Twin warriors/fighters with one mind...

Hi People,

Loved this book back when I was a teenager, knew where it was in the library so never bothered to remember its name/author - Doh! Must have been pre 1990. Bare with me on what I can remember - it was a great book and I really don't do it justice in my description.

Plot:

Background
During a war in the future mankind bio-engineers warrior "twins" (perhaps called tweens in the book?) who have have one conciousness, who then escape control of the military and become the enemy, escaping into space but leaving a few behind in positions of power (politicians, religeous leaders etc), now they are returning to kick humanities butt. Humanity have since stopped the war, and don't know about the immenent return.

A pair/one of these tweens gets in a bar fight, killing someone in a way which gives the cops a clue that it must have been a tween (i think it was the type of weapon used - a guys head is decapitated by some sort of black lightening vorpel whip thing?) - the cops enter the data into their AI who then recommends that a mysterious man and dwarf (yup, a dwarf) are pulled out of suspended animation, no one knows anything about them, but they are de-iced to investigate/track down/kill the "tweens", which they do, Hooray!

I would be most grateful if anyone could offer a tittle or an author, I've used book search engines using the details I can remember but got nowhere.

Thanks,

Dukkha.

That's "The Paratwa Saga" by Christopher Hinz
It's actually a trilogy: Liege-Killer, Ash-Ock, and The Paratwa.
Happy Reading!
