Jeff Edwards

Also available in trade paperback.

Even alone, beaten up by life, and a tad pissed at the world, David Stalin is still one of the best detectives that the Los Angeles Urban Environmental Enclosure 12, 12-A, and their surroundings have ever seen. Hell, throw in the rest of the world if you wish. There’s no one more tenacious then our hero. Even after his wife was taken from him. Even after four years of retirement. Even against all odds. The year is 2063 and he’s back on the job … and his past is about to catch up with him.

Take the intelligence of a Neal Stephenson novel, add a heaping helping of Richard K. Morgan kick-ass, fold in a cup or two of real world technical knowledge and an eye in the future, and then put the result in a noir dystopia bleak enough to make Philip K. Dick and William Gibson shed a few tears. Bake at 2000 degrees. You now have a small idea of what Jeff Edwards has in store for you in Dome City Blues.

Originally published as TORPEDO.

A minor accident at a German nuclear power plant, a Biological Warfare attack on the British Embassy in Washington, DC, and a secret arms deal combine to drive a trusted NATO Ally into an illegal alliance with a rogue Middle Eastern state. With the world hovering on the brink of war, a handful of U.S. Navy warships must track down and destroy a wolfpack of state-of-the-art submarines. Their enemy is skilled in deception, and incredibly lethal. Out-gunned, out-maneuvered, and out-thought, the U.S. Navy crews must throw the rulebook out the window, and become every bit as devious and deadly as their enemy. If they fail, the consequences are unthinkable...
