Alien Murders by Stephen Goldin--a science fiction murder mystery

sgoldin · 03-16-2010, 05:21 PM

Please see Post #3 for exciting updated information about Alien Murders.

I'd like to call your attention to my book Alien Murders, a collection of 2 novelets that originally appeared in Analog magazine. Readers who enjoy both science fiction and murder mysteries may appreciate these stories of literary broker Deborah Rabinowitz who travels in virtual space to other worlds to sell the rights to Earth literature--and who encounters mysteries that need solving. You can sample the book for free at Smashwords, so I hope you'll give it a try.

Exiting announcement: Alien Murders has been permanently reduced in price to $1.99. The book comprises two novelettes that were originally published in Analog Magazine.

The book is set in a future where, although physical travel between the stars is impossible because of the vast distances involved, methods of communication are instantaneous. As a result, there are a couple of different ways to visit alien worlds: veering (using virtual reality to project images back and forth), and teeping (using telepresence to control robotic bodies on the other planet). It's even possible to engage in trade, licensing the rights to books, art, inventions, and other intellectual property.

Deborah Raboinowitz is a literary broker. She veers to alien worlds and sells the publishing rights to Earth books. But when an alien is murdered right before her eyes, there's no way she can keep from being involved and solving the murder herself.

Then, when an old friend is accused of a murder on a different world, Deborah has to become a lawyer and defend her friend before a kangaroo court by solving that murder, too.

This book was recently featured on Holly Hooks's Bargain eBooks blog. I hope you'll check it out for yourself. Pleasant reading!
