NEW FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION STORIES WITH A HARDBOILED NOIR
TWIST--FOCUSING ON THE MEAN STREETS OF THE CITY "Down these mean
streets a man must go who is not himself mean, who is neither
tarnished nor afraid." --Raymond Chandler Humans have always been
fascinated by darkness. Especially the darkness of a city at night,
when the black sky is made ever more inky by the pools of
illumination dropped under streetlights. We harken to the sound of
streetcars in the distance. We are drawn to the garish flash of
club signs and marquees. We love the danger of shadowed alleyways,
of wealth and poverty living side by side. We love the city. It's a
part of us. Whether the mean streets be in an alternate past
charmed with dark magic or the dirty alleyways of futuristic
crowded space stations, the city--and its darkened streets--will
always fascinate us. Here then, an anthology of all new stories of
science fiction and fantasy with a hardboiled noir twist that
acknowledge that the city is a living, breathing entity...and it
isn't always on our side. Stories by: Laurell K. Hamilton, Larry
Correia, Kacey Ezell, Mike Massa, Steve Diamond, Robert E. Hampson,
Chris Kennedy, Marisa Wolf, Griffin Barber, Robert Buettner,
Hinkley Correia, Casey Moores, Patrick M. Tracy, and Dan Willis.
Los Angeles: the 1970s. Disco is king and the nightclubs are full
of young, beautiful people with Saturday night fever. From the
Sunset Strip to Hollywood Boulevard, a new era is dawning. But
below the glitz and glamor, a darkness lurks. Chloe Mendoza k

WAR RAGES AS THE GREAT EXTERMINATION SPREADS IN THE LATEST
INSTALLMENT OF LARRY CORREIA'S BEST-SELLING SON OF THE BLACK SWORD
EPIC FANTASY SERIES. FIRST TIME IN TRADE PAPERBACK. The
assassination of the Chief Judge has pushed the Capitol to the
edge. The Great Extermination has spread to all the land. The
casteless must be annihilated. Their only hope is the fallen
Protector Ashok Vadal. But Vadal is being held prisoner on the
island of Fortress. In order to save those who need him most, he
must escape and find his way across the demon-infested sea and
return to Thera, the prophet of an illegal and forgotten god. It is
she who has sent the Sons of the Black Sword to war against the
warrior caste, hoping to buy time until Vadal's return. But as the
chaos swirls, Grand Inquisitor Omand Vokkan launches a coup to
install Lord Protector Devedas as his puppet king. Devedas has no
intention of being anyone's puppet, but it may not matter. For
Vokkan has struck a secret bargain with a demon. Vokkan will
destroy the casteless for this ancient being; in exchange, he will
be granted the power of the ancient gods. Ashok Vadal, Thera, and
the Sons of the Black Sword face foes both human and supernatural,
Byzantine political intrigue and bloody hand-to-hand combat, gods
and demons alike. But Vadal is a warrior with a warrior's heart,
and woe to those who would stand in his way--man, god, demon, or
otherwise!

STORIES OF SCIENCE FICTION AND FANTASY WITH A HARDBOILED NOIR TWIST
BY BEST-SELLING AUTHORS LARRY CORREIA, LAURELL K. HAMILTON, AND
MORE! "Knights had no meaning in this game. It wasn't a game for
knights." --Raymond Chandler In a world of criminals, thugs, con
artists, cheats, and swindlers, there must be a man to stand
against the powers of darkness and corruption. A man not afraid to
walk the mean streets--whether they be those of 1930s Los Angeles,
an ancient fantasy realm, or some far-flung planet of a future star
empire. He is a man who knows that a "good man" is not always a
"nice guy." But when the chips are down, he understands that a hero
does the right thing, even if it means losing everything. He's a
hard man, sure. But an honorable one. He's a truth-seeker, a
score-evener. He is Sam Spade. He is Philip Marlowe. He is Rick
Deckard. He is Harry Dresden. He is all these men and more. Now,
join Larry Correia and Kacey Ezell as they present all-new stories
of fantasy and science fiction with a hardboiled detective bent by
today's top authors. Grab the bottle of Scotch from your bottom
desk drawer. Light a cigarette. Tilt your fedora back on your head.
But don't forget to watch your back. This is No Game for Knights.

Praise for No Game for Knights: "The authors successfully create a
fantasy pastiche of Chandleresque hardboiled fiction." --Tangent
Online About Noir Fatale, edited by Correia and Ezell: "Marvelous
is a good word to describe all of the stories in the book. . . .
Noir Fatale is a book that will charm both noir fans, and general
science fiction and fantasy readers. Correia and Ezell have created
a captivating mix of stories." --The Galveston County Daily News
"[A] wonderfully diverse collection of stories from a broad range
of authors and it delivers in spades . . . It is a diverse and
exciting slice of Noir and Fatale and a great read." --SFRevu About
Larry Correia and the Monster Hunter International series:
"[E]verything I like in fantasy: intense action scenes, evil in
horrifying array, good struggling against the darkness, and most of
all people--gorgeously flawed human beings faced with horrible
moral choices that force them to question and change and grow."
--Jim Butcher "[A] no-holds-barred all-out page turner that is part
science fiction, part horror, and an absolute blast to read."
--Bookreporter.com "If you love monsters and action, you'll love
this book. If you love guns, you'll love this book. If you love
fantasy, and especially horror fantasy, you'll love this book."
--Knotclan.com "A gun person who likes science fiction--or, heck,
anyone who likes science fiction--will enjoy [these books] . . .
The plotting is excellent, and Correia makes you care about the
characters . . . I read both books without putting them down except
for work . . . so whaddaya waitin' for? Go and buy some . . . for
yourself and for stocking stuffers." --Massad Ayoob "This
lighthearted, testosterone-soaked sequel to 2009's Monster Hunter
International will delight fans of action horror with elaborate
weaponry, hand-to-hand combat, disgusting monsters, and an endless
stream of blood and body parts." --Publishers Weekly on Monster
Hunter Vendetta About the work of Kacey Ezell: "Gritty, dark and
damp. Much like the war itself." --Michael Z. Williamson,
best-selling author of A Long Time Until Now "I loved Minds of
Men." --D.J. Butler, best-selling author of Witchy Eye "A lot of
good scifi writers write war, but sometimes forget that it is
fought by actual people, and even in the midst of war, you don't
stop being people while you fight. If you want a good read that
dares you to think about what it is like to go to war when you
can't hide behind the masks you learn to wear, check it out."
--John T. Mainer

New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-selling author. Gritty
urban fantasy set in an alternate noir 1930s. A tough P.I. battles
an interdimensional monster that wants to suck magic power out of
the world and in the process destroy it. Sequel to Hard Magic and
Spellbound. Book Three in the Grimnoir Chronicles. FIRST TIME IN
TRADE PAPERBACK. Gritty urban fantasy adventure set in an alternate
noir 1930s, Book Three in the Grimnoir chronicles. Only a handful
of people in the world know that mankind's magic comes from a
living creature, and it is a refugee from another universe. The
Power showed up here in the 1850s because it was running from
something. Now it is 1933, and the Power's hiding place has been
discovered by a killer. It is a predator that eats magic and leaves
destroyed worlds in its wake. Earth is next. Former private eye,
Jake Sullivan, knows the score. The problem is hardly anyone
believes him. The world's most capable Active, Faye Vierra, could
back him up, but she is hiding from the forces that think she is
too dangerous to let live. So Jake has put together a ragtag crew
of airship pirates and Grimnoir knights, and set out on a suicide
mission to stop the predator before it is too late. About the Urban
