A genre-bender (think Animal Farm blended with The Big Sleep,
spiced with a dash of Gulliver's Travels and served with a side of
Blade Runner), The Gwousz Affair is a dystopian-mystery novel in
which the Western world is largely ruled by highly intelligent
bovines. Yet at the heart of the novel lies a story that is pure
noir. Cornelius Planke is having a bad decade. First, his wife of
twelve years gives him the bum's rush for another guy. Then he is
canned from the force for no good reason that he can think of. Now
an underemployed P.I., he finds himself on the case and looking for
the killer of a young Developed heifer. The hard-drinking Planke
wades into an underworld peopled by Neo-Carnivores, the Meat Mafia,
bovine Salvationists, Skullhead scientists, dezoe actors, and rebel
Euro-Domestics who are fighting for the rights of undeveloped
ungulates in the colonies. Along the way, he falls for the
seductive Dween, a Developed ewe. Trapped in a web of deceit, lies,
and untold dangers, Planke soon realizes that nothing is as it
seems-and more importantly, that the present caper may cost him his
heart, and probably his life. Gritty, funny, speculative, and
gripping, The Gwousz affair is cutting edge Sci-Fi Noir for the
21st century.
