Mars Needs Books!

Gary Lovisi

In the not-so-distant future, men have come to Mars to escape the oppressive Earth government. Ryan is an agent for a super-secret government agency, the Department of Control (DOC), and has always been willing to do whatever his masters want of him. But on Mars, everything is different, and all that Ryan does is read books: hardboiled, noir crime paperbacks dating from the last century. In fact, such works are read and collected by everyone on Mars, even serving as a medium of exchange. Why? Is there some secret DOC plot involved? Or has Ryan conjured up a literary fantasy in his own guilt-twisted mind? Maybe he's still confined in a prison cell back on Earth, reading a science-fiction novel called Mars Needs Books! As Ryan probes deeper and deeper into the mystery, he comes to understand just one thing: he must uncover the truth!

    Serpent's Tooth

    Michael Collings

    A young man, relatively new to Fox Creek and living with his elderly grandmother, is discovered dead in his bed after having been severely beaten. Unfortunately, the first person to see the body is Carver Ellis; and the first police officer on the scene is already convinced that young Ellis not only found the body but murdered the victim.

    It’s up to Victoria Sears and her new best friend from down-mountain, Lynn Hanson, to work hand-in-hand with Chief Deputy Richard Wroten not only to clear Ellis of any complicity in the death, but to join together a tortuous series of clues to uncover precisely how and why Eric Johansson died.

    Can they do it before a crucial piece of evidence disappears?

    Tomorrow

    E.C. Tubb

    Three men had broken into the laboratories of Atomic Power Inc., killing three guards and stealing a new formula for the control of atomic fission. They had inside help: someone had given them the guard schedule and a plan of the laboratories. The one substantial clue was that the spy cameras had caught the thieves, and one of them had forgotten to shield his face. Across his forehead was the dark streak of an indelible brand: the debtor’s mark! Private investigator Jim Carter knows that mark well, but what he does not know is that by accepting the case, he has already marked himself for death! Six great science fiction crime and suspense stories from a master storyteller.
