Burden of Sisyphus

Picture
Military Science Fiction

Between the alien Alliance and the Terran Empire, a neutral zone stretches between the galaxies, a demilitarized zone that was established 150 years previous following the Great War. The peace accord granted a semblance of peace to the universe. The peace, however, is a facade, and it is the responsibility of Michael Vance and his covert operations team to maintain that illusion.

Recently, the Alliance lost contact with one of their outposts near the neutral zone. Surveillance scans show an abandoned city and no signs of life. The Alliance does what it always does: send in the best. But an unexpected betrayal leaves Vance and his team stranded. Worse, the city that was supposed to be dead is quite alive. And the monsters that now roam its streets are slaughtering his team, one at a time.

Suzie in Red: A Mickey Flick Novel

Mystery, Thriller, 1920s

December 2011

Mickey Flick had once been a great cop. Working on the Belltown police force, he had been on top of his game, until the police force asked him to retire.

Lost in Belltown without much direction, Mickey falls back into the routine with which he's most comfortable: being a cop. With his new private investigator firm up and running in one of the seediest parts of the city, Mickey just waits for that one big break... and waits... and waits...

Eager for any work, he takes a job as a consultant with his former police partner, the entire time unaware of what lies in store: a beautiful dame in a red dress, and art theft, the mob, and murder. Being a private eye is suddenly more dangerous than being a cop.
