writer with a gift for worldbuilding... |
Blood, bullets,
knives, explosives and a genderbender twist---with a healthy dose of
heart. Works for me. |
Lazette Gifford
writes edgy, make-you-think tales -- tough people in hard, strange places
facing big trouble. And these two stories are some of her best --
excellent through and through -- |
In 2039 Los Angeles, half ruined by devastating quakes, is in the hands of three policing forces -- the National Feds, the State Militia and the city's own Local force, all of them squabbling over jurisdiction. Religious intolerance grows under the watchful eye of the CCP, and survival is a precarious game of chance and cunning.
And in this maelstrom of disaster, two Local detectives working on their first case together, try to find a drug dealer with a secret he's willing to sell -- if he lives long enough.
Unfortunately, Elias Singer is about to learn that his new partner has a dangerous secret all his own...
Singer and St. Jude:
The Lost Cause
Eons ago
powerful mages cursed all magical beings to walk the land only in the dead of
the night. The people of Dodano hide behind their shuttered windows and locked
doors, never looking upon the creatures in the moon light. Gradually growing to
despise all magic, they have even turned against the mages and outlawed their
powerful art.
However, now an evil that will not be stopped by mere locked doors is stalking
the humans.
A shame that in their righteous zeal the people murdered the last true mage,
leaving only Dacey, the apprentice, to stand between them and destruction --
that is if they don't capture and kill him as well.
