Synopsis

In "Treachery in Outer Space," Carey Rockwell blends thrilling adventure with science fiction, crafting a narrative rich in imaginative worlds and ethical dilemmas. Set against a backdrop of interstellar travel, the book explores the themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the moral complexities of space exploration. Rockwell's clear prose and engaging dialogue anchor the story, rendering a tale that is both accessible and thought-provoking, echoing the works of contemporaneous authors in the Golden Age of science fiction while asserting his unique voice within the genre. Carey Rockwell, known for his explorations of the cosmos through youthful protagonists, was inspired by the burgeoning space race of the 1950s and 60s. His works often reflect the anxieties and hopes of a generation mesmerized by the possibilities of space travel. Rockwell'Äôs profound understanding of human nature and moral ambiguity stems from his background in socio-political commentary, enriching his narrative with layers of complexity and realism. This book is highly recommended for readers who enjoy fast-paced science fiction with a cerebral edge. "Treachery in Outer Space" not only promises excitement but also invites introspection on ethical decisions faced by humanity as we reach beyond our planet.

    Some criminals hide in the shadows. Others change the game entirely. 
     
     
     
    When a routine jewel theft leads to an unexpected confrontation on a rooftop, Paranormal Defense Agent Izzie Berens thinks she's wrapping up a standard case. But when the suspect—a winged Arpak—hurls a magical artifact at her before collapsing, it sets off a chain reaction that exposes something far more sinister lurking beneath Austin's magical underworld. 
     
     
     
    What starts as a simple takedown quickly spirals into a deadly mystery when an unregistered magical creature attacks a city cop, surviving gunshots, stun spells, and even anti-magic rounds. The problem? He wasn't supposed to be magical at all. As Izzie and her partner Rafe dig deeper, they uncover traces of dark magic that shouldn't exist—powerful, insidious, and growing stronger by the day. 
     
     
     
    With tensions rising and the Arcane Syndicate's influence spreading like wildfire, Izzie is forced to confront an unsettling truth: this isn't just another case. This is the beginning of something bigger, something designed to rewrite the rules of magic itself. And if she doesn't stop it in time, Austin—and the entire magical world—may never be the same.

    Ace Ventura meets the Addams Family!   A shambling horde of new cases hits Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. in the Unnatural Quarter. Dan and his gang—including his ghost girlfriend, feisty lawyer partner, cop best friend, and little vampire half-daughter Alvina—are out to seek justice, solve mysteries, and keep their heads on straight … or at least attached.   Alvina’s singing lessons for the Banshee Tabernacle Choir end on a sour note when the troll choir director plunges to her death from a high belfry, and the only witness is a deaf-as-a-post gargoyle who sits too close to the loud bells.   A frustrated imp, woefully unsuccessful in betting on the nightmare races, is dead certain that his bookie BatGN (GN for “gender neutral” to avoid copyright issues) is cheating him.   Francine, the salty bartender at the Goblin Tavern, is worried when One Fang the vampire—her on-again, off-again suitor—disappears without a trace.   A shady vendor discovers a market for living shrunken heads that are conversational as well as decorative, but the demand by far exceeds the supply.   A heartless therapist has ulterior motives when she counsels zombies, distracting them from their woes to concentrate not just on brains, but on self-improvement as well.   There is much at stake in the Unnatural Quarter, and it’s up to Dan Shamble to keep the streets dark and safe for monsters and humans alike. After all, the cases don’t solve themselves!   This zombie detective puts the P.I. back in R.I.P.
