The Guns of Seneca 6 Saga
Get Your Guns Ready to travel to Bernard Schaffer's dusty world of the Old West set on a distant planet. Outlaws, gunslingers, native tribes, the occasional spaceship crash landing, and men willing to risk it all. A perfect combination of science fiction and western.
Recommended for fans of Firefly, Star Trek, Old West legends, Tombstone, and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.

The Superbia Series
The world of police work is a dangerous, terrifying place...and that's just dealing with other cops. Not-Even-Promoted Detective Frank O'Ryan spends more time with drug dealers and child molesters than his own family, but it's better than having to circumvent the unspeakable bureaucracy of his own agency. Called the literary equivalent of The Wire and one of the most subversive books on law enforcement ever written.
Recommended for fans of Joseph Wambaugh, Ed McBain, The Wire, NYPD Blue, and Homicide: Life on the Streets.

Grendel Unit
Several hundred years in the future, humanity has spread to multiple planets and made contact with a wide variety of alien life forms. Under the banner of Unification, they've sought to extend their reach and philosophies, sometimes by legitimate means and sometimes by military or economic force.
As with any government, there are dirty jobs that need to be done. Enemies that need to be silenced. Terrorist cells that need to be eliminated. That's when they call the Grendel Unit.
The Fight for the Future Just Got Dirty.
