Death Warmed Over - Dan Shamble...

Kevin J. Anderson

Ever since the Big Uneasy unleashed vampires, werewolves, and other undead denizens on the world, it’s been hell being a detective—especially for zombie PI Dan Chambeaux.  
Taking on the creepiest of cases in the Unnatural Quarter with a human lawyer for a partner and a ghost for a girlfriend, Chambeaux redefines “dead on arrival.” But just because he was murdered doesn’t mean he’d leave his clients in the lurch. Besides, zombies are so good at lurching. 
Now he’s back from the dead and back in business—with a caseload that’s downright unnatural. A resurrected mummy is suing the museum that put him on display. Two witches, victims of a curse gone terribly wrong, seek restitution from a publisher for not using “spell check” on its magical tomes. And he’s got to figure out a very personal question: who killed him? 
For Dan Chambeaux, it’s all in a day’s work. (Still, does everybody have to call him “Shamble”?) 
Funny, fresh, and irresistible, this cadaverous caper puts the PI in RIP … with a vengeance.

The Misplaced Battleship - One...

Harry Harrison

When master thief–turned–Special Corps agent Slippery Jim diGriz uncovers blueprints that perfectly match the long-extinct Warlord-class battleships, he realizes the galaxy faces a threat no one else has even noticed. A planet that should have no interest in war is secretly building the most devastating ship ever conceived — and no one in power seems to know why.
Determined to uncover the truth, diGriz burrows through layers of forged orders, bribed officials, falsified records, and one staggeringly bold deception. But when the completed battleship vanishes and innocent ships begin turning up as drifting wreckage, diGriz is forced into a deadly pursuit against a criminal mind whose ambition is matched only by their audacity. The chase leads to betrayal, manipulation, and a reveal that even diGriz’s nimble instincts never anticipated.
Harry Harrison (1925–2012) was a legendary name in science fiction, celebrated for his sharp wit, inventive plots, and breakneck pacing. A veteran illustrator turned writer, Harrison developed a distinct style built on clever twists, cleverer heroes, and a playful disregard for authority — themes showcased brilliantly in the Stainless Steel Rat adventures.
Known for classics like Make Room! Make Room! (the basis for Soylent Green), Deathworld, and Bill, the Galactic Hero, Harrison blended humor, adventure, and social commentary in ways few writers matched. His work continues to influence sci-fi storytellers across books, comics, radio, and film.
