      "UNPUTDOWNABLE!" -Terran Publishers "BRILLIANT, ECCENTRIC, DARKLY SATIRICAL AND DOWNRIGHT WEIRD!" -The Santiago Weekly "UP URANUS...SORRY, I MEAN RAIDERS OF THE SEVENTH PLANET IS AN IRRESISTIBLE ROMP THROUGH SPACE..." -Publishers Daily Barbarian hordes! Noble savages! Conflicting chosen ones! Sub-literate subordinates! All are present in these rip-roaring, wild, galaxy-hopping adventures of the crew of A Terran Starship. A Terran Starship attempts to bring good old-fashioned FREEDOM to Uranus and fails! Instead, hard pounding action slams them into the darkest depths of Uranus as a power struggle unfolds with awkwardly hilarious results, entangling them in a vast, intergalactic struggle for dominance. "STILL MORE PLAUSIBLE THAN STAR TREK" -Raves Fake Reviews Weakly. "CONTRARY TO SOME CLASSICISTS, MODERN SCIENCE FICTION CRITICS DO NOT NECESSARILY VIEW THE SATIRICAL STREAK OF THE STORY AS CONFLICTING WITH MODERN NOTIONS OF SCIENCE FICTION." -Oxford & Cambridge Foundation for Literature

      When Claudia of Nyx turns her human lover into a vampire, she brings down a curse that will reverberate for generations. Lucius of Nyx rises from the stain of his parent's shameful union, determined to claim his rightful place on the Council of the Undead and redeem the name of his clan. But Lucius wants more. He wants to rule the realms of the Living and the Undead. And he wants Margrethe - innocent, beautiful...forbidden. No Battle is too bloody nor sacrifice too great to stand between Lucius and his desires, but it is those closest to the Lord of Nyx who will pay the price for his ruthless ambition.

Assigned to assist in the investigation, FBI Special Agent Haley Murch has a theory- were the slayings a copycat of the 1969 Manson murders or were they the work of somebody else altogether, someone elusive? For the past six years, she had researched the exploits of a notorious serial killer the media had come to call "The Hollywood Walk of Fame Killer" - a killer whose calling card matched those left behind at the crime scene.To solve this mystery, it will take the LAPD's lead homicide detective's obsessive knowledge of Hollywood film history, his team's elite investigative skills, and Agent Murch's masterful profiling ability to thwart this serial killer.
