Böcker av Edward S Louis

Ho Malone, Chicago detective, and his able colleagues specialize in cases that require expertise in physics and technology in 2040s London. International Planetary Transport contacts Malone and his Quantum Detectives to investigate the disappearance of Joe Roy Peabody, better known as Helvis, the greatest entertainer of the day, lost while traveling to the mining city of Dis on Mars to perform a benefit concert for the miners. His transport ship, owned and operated by IPT, has vanished in space. Immediate suspects include figures of wealth and global influence: a multinet soft-porn queen, a Hollywood movie mogul, a multi-media evangelist, Helvis's own agent and promoter, and the proprietors of GeoSol, an underground company competing with IPT for the budding space-travel market, all with youthful and seemingly friendly ties to Helvis. Full of fast-paced action, devious villains, subtle humor, and steamy romance, E. S. Louis's international neo-noir detective thriller combines science fiction with classic whodunit and a growing list of quirky, energetic characters in a streetwise narrative that opens a cosmic wormhole to more exciting mysteries to come.

Some romances are so good, they last a lifetime. Some are even better, and they last forever. Beyond this Earth Cristobel and Lewis find each other again on the cosmic tilt-a-whirl that lands them on a new world of art and beauty and opportunity. Amidst reunions, surprising new friendships, and renewed devotion to love and vocation, they learn that even in this kinder, gentler Purgatory they must still experience lessons about suffering, sacrifice, duty, and loss-and one final breathtaking epiphany.

Sir Severus le Brewse, among the least known of King Arthur's Round Table knights, preferred by nature, disposition, and training to fight against monsters rather than other knights. After youthful adventures of errantry with dragons, trolls, vampires, and assorted beasts, Severus joins the brilliant sorceress Lilava to face the Chimaera in The Greatest Monster Battle of All Time to free her folk from an age-old curse. But their adventures don't end there; together they meet elves and magicians, friends and foes; they join in the fight to save Camelot and even walk the Grey Paths of the Dead. With a mix of Malory, a touch of Tolkien, and a hint of humor, The Monster Specialist chronicles a tale of courage, tenacity, honor, and love.
