Red Sun Bleeding

by Hunt, Stephen

  DESCRIPTION

  As the self-proclaimed biggest coward in the galaxy, Horatio has it easy on what passes for 40th century America. A much-favoured sycophant in the court of the King of Earth, Horatio lives in a genetically engineered paradise where there's a vat-grown slave waiting around every marble column with a bunch of grapes to drop into his oh-so perfectly designed mouth.

  Unfortunately for Horatio, the artificial intelligence that rules the great mass of humanity spread across the stars has other plans for this feckless seducer. So, if you ever wonder how the galaxy's biggest coward finds himself actually trying to save it, you're not alone... but then, unfortunately, neither is our hero!

  His misadventures are abetted by a psychotic Martian warrior, a robot who thinks it's related to Sherlock Holmes, a beautiful genetically enhanced assassin, a scientist with a computer for a brain, and a millennia-old clone who was alive when the last U.S. President was executed by a firing squad.

  It's six against the galaxy. Six against the stars. They'll save the universe... but they might damage it first.

  Sliding Void (Book 1 of the Sliding Void science fiction series)

  DESCRIPTION

  Captain Lana Fiveworlds has a hell of a lot of problems.

  She's sliding void in an ageing seven-hundred-year-old space ship, scrabbling around the edges of civilised space trying to find a cargo lucrative enough to pay her bills without proving so risky that it'll kill her. She's got an alien religious freak for a navigator, an untrustworthy android for a first mate, a disgraced lizard for a trade negotiator and a deserter from the fleet acting as her chief engineer.

  And that was well before an ex-crewman turns up wanting Lana to rescue a barbarian prince from a long-failed colony world.

  Unfortunately for Lana, the problems she doesn't know about are even more dangerous. In fact, they just might be enough to destroy Lana's rickety but much-loved vessel, the Gravity Rose, and jettison her and her crew into the void without a spacesuit.

  But there's one thing you can never tell an independent space trader. That's the odds...

  Transference Station (Book 2 of the Sliding Void science fiction series)

  DESCRIPTION

  Are things finally looking up for Captain Lana Fiveworlds? She's managed to reach what passes for civilisation in the wild border systems of the Edge - Transference Station - the largest trading hub in the free worlds. With her ramshackle starship, the Gravity Rose, safely docked, she's now desperately searching for a cargo to stave off bankruptcy.

  Lana's crew needs paying - including the amorous barbarian prince she rescued from a failed colony world. But her crew have other priorities: the ship's android, Zeno, is distracted by terrible secrets from his past, while her alien navigator, Polter, runs into trouble indulging his religious fervour.

  If that wasn't enough, there's a deal available... but only from the dodgiest broker in a thousand planets. With rival starship captains looking to sabotage Lana for good, and a dangerous mission to a mysterious planet which is far more than the lies she's been spun, things can only get worse from here on in.

  Lana Fiveworlds and her crew of misfits are still sliding void, just, but for how much longer?

  Sometimes, the brown stuff piles up so high you need antigravity thrusters to fly over it.

  In The Company of Ghosts

  Book 1 of the In The Company of Ghosts series (The Agatha Witchley Mysteries)

  Because sometimes, insanity and genius are indistinguishable...

  Agatha Witchley used to be a spy in the Cold War, but now she's locked up in the UK's premier maximum-security mental institution. She believes that the ghosts of the celebrity dead visit her padded cell and whisper the world's secrets in her ears. Which is a big problem for the British government, because she's the only one who can help them when an American billionaire is murdered in London in one of the strangest killings yet.

  The Home Secretary needs the case locked down and solved before the entrepreneur’s death becomes public knowledge and economic chaos ensures.

  The woman he has in mind for the job might be paranoid, she might be lethal, she might half-insane and drawing a pension, but it's amazing how you can forgive that in a genius when it's a genius's help you need.

  Yes, the security forces need Agatha Witchley again. It's just the ghosts of Churchill, Elvis and Groucho Marx they could do without.

  The Plato Club

  Book 2 of the In The Company of Ghosts series (The Agatha Witchley Mysteries)

  Because sometimes, insanity and genius are indistinguishable...

  As an ex-spy rumoured to have gone insane after being held captive by the KGB and tortured for a decade, Agatha Witchley has seen her share of strange cases over the years. But none compares to the faked autoerotic asphyxiation of billionaire Simon Werks, and the sudden trail of death tracking after the American industrialist’s family.

  Now that Agatha and her friends from the security services are being targeted hard to stop the investigation, she’s taking it personally. Unfortunately for the British agents in peril, so are the ghosts Agatha Witchley’s convinced are helping her – Churchill, Elvis and Groucho Marx.

  The assassins on Agatha Witchley’s trail have really made her mad now. What they don’t know is how totally deranged she was to begin with!
