Opis

Collected here for the first time, you'll find the published cases of Thadeus Rede, a detective of near future Seattle: the novella "Thin Ice," and the short stories "The Wolf Encrypted" and "The Wolf Revealed." The collection also offers an assortment of tales starring various parasites (natural, mutant, and human) and a cranky vampire. Reviews about Thadeus Rede stories: "Thin Ice": "Drawn from a rich and detailed future Seattle, "Thin Ice" is a detective novel at heart, and a very accomplished one at that. The plot flows fast with unexpected twists and enough red herrings to keep the reader guessing. This novel will keep you hooked until the very last page, the writing is intelligent and easy to read, the characterization is spot on and the back story both rich and vividly realized. . . . There is also a really gritty feel to this future city, not quite dystopian but something of a balance between dystopia and modern life. N]ot a single sentence is wasted, there are no filler bits, every page and every word advances the story and provides background detail. Highly recommended." -"Science Fiction and Fantasy Book Reviews" - sfbook.com. "This is a great book for those who enjoy the fascinating 'what if' of science fiction." -"Spokane Coeur d'Alene Living Magazine" (February 2012). "The Wolf Encrypted" "Solid noir with great prose and a well depicted future backdrop." -"Futurismic ezine" editor.
