Summary

Leigh Brackett's 'Black Amazon of Mars' is a captivating science fiction novel that immerses readers in a gripping tale of intergalactic adventure and daring escapades. Set in a distant future where space travel and alien civilizations are the norm, the book's narrative style is rich in descriptive detail and vivid imagery, transporting the reader to the barren landscapes of the Red Planet and beyond. Brackett's seamless blend of action, suspense, and thoughtful introspection places this work within the realm of classic science fiction literature, appealing to both casual readers and genre enthusiasts alike. The book provides a unique exploration of themes such as loyalty, honor, and the inherent mysteries of the universe, making it a thought-provoking read for those interested in speculative fiction. Leigh Brackett, known for her contributions to the science fiction genre, drew inspiration from her own fascination with planetary exploration and the possibilities of extraterrestrial life when crafting 'Black Amazon of Mars'. Her background as a screenwriter for numerous Hollywood films also shines through in her ability to create captivating dialogue and dynamic characters that resonate with readers long after the final page. Brackett's legacy as a pioneering female voice in science fiction further adds depth and significance to this engaging work. I highly recommend 'Black Amazon of Mars' to anyone seeking a thrilling and thought-provoking journey through the cosmos. Leigh Brackett's skillful storytelling and imaginative world-building make this novel a must-read for fans of classic science fiction and those looking to explore new frontiers of the genre.

    This is a tragedy. 
    It’s also a love story with threads of hope. 
    But it’s important that you go into it expecting a tragedy. 
    In The Half-Light Chronicles, nearly every book and story references Lovers’ Falls, a waterfall near the center of Vendaras inhabited by sprites. It’s named for the skeletons embracing at the cave’s entrance, and its origin is a favorite story among bards and storytellers because it can be tweaked to emphasize various morals, making it a warning or inspiration, depending on the audience’s need. 
    But this version is the true story, the one that tells just how the skeletons got there (hence the tragedy) and how their story connects to others you may know.

    Together in one volume, two frighteningly hilarious Dan Shamble, Zombie P.I. adventures. SLIMY UNDERBELLY: There’s something fishy going on in the Unnatural Quarter. Bodies are floating face-down, the plumbing is backing up, and something smells rotten—even to a zombie detective like Dan Shamble. Diving into the slimy underbelly of a diabolical plot, Dan comes face-to-tentacles with an amphibious villain named Ah’Chulhu and his snap-happy gang of gator-guys. While feuding weather wizards kick up storms and a gang of thieving lawn gnomes continues their reign of terror, Dan Shamble is running out of time before the whole stinking city goes down the drain. TASTES LIKE CHICKEN: Shamble faces his most fowl case yet, when a flock of murderous feral chickens terrorizes the Unnatural Quarter. Also in the caseload, Shamble deals with the sinister spokesman for Monster Chow Industries, a spreading contamination that drives vampires berserk, a serial-killer demon from the Fifth Pit of Hell, a black-market blood gang led by the nefarious Ma Hemoglobin, a ghost fighting a hostile takeover of his blood bars…and a cute little vampire girl who may, or may not, be his daughter. With his ghost girlfriend Sheyenne, his bleeding-heart lawyer partner Robin, and his Best Human Friend Officer Toby McGoohan, Dan Shamble is back from the dead and back on the case. The feathers will fly as he goes face-to-beak with the evil peckers.
