Blue War

by Jeffrey Thomas

Published 26 February 2008

It is a jungle of blue vegetation, in another dimension. Over a decade earlier, Earth's Colonial Forces battled against the blue-skinned Ha Jiin people, in order to help support the autonomy of the Jin Haa people. An attempt to grow an apartment village from an organic material has strangely led to the Earth colony of Punktown being replicated at an astonishing rate. More strangely yet, a Ha Jiin security patrol finds three clones that the organic city seems to have regenerated from long dead remains. Jeremy Stake is called in to solve the mystery and he soon finds himself trying to prevent another war.

Deadstock

by Jeffrey Thomas

Published 27 February 2007

Punktown, crime-ridden metropolis on the colony world, Oasis, is home to the scum of countless alien races. Stalking its mean streets is Jeremy Stake, the private detective with chameleon-like abilities he does not want and cannot control.

There's his wealthy client, Fukuda, whose company makes synthetic life forms as playthings for the rich. Then there's Fukuda's beautiful teenage daughter, whose priceless one-of-a-kind living doll has been stolen. And there is the doll itself, growing in size, intelligence, and resentment.

The destinies of all these individuals will converge, and collide, in Punktown.
