Some genres were never meant to cross.
Joe Slade is a detective with a hot lead and a warm gun. He no longer believes in happy-ever-afters, but his faith in plot twists is devout. Good thing.

Vowing revenge on his author, he will set off for the World Where the Books Are Written. The road will take him through genres foreign and treacherous: High Fantasy, Bodice-Ripping Romance, Intergalactic Sci-Fi, and others even more awful and terrifying.

Title: Redfern
I
have been reading and watching science fiction since I was old enough
to watch Peter Davison walking around an unrealistic jungle set in
Doctor Who. The first set of sci-fi books I ever read was The Tripods
trilogy by John Christopher without ever having watched the resultant TV
series. The Tripods were scary.
Title: One God – God is Dead
KATA MLEK
Tasked
by the Federation of Planets to determine if Earthlings present a
threat as they venture into space, Tak, an alien anthropologist, leaves
her starship orbiting Earth and takes a shuttle to Kansas. Intending to
study humans in the United States—as she has learned no Earth language
but English—she is detected while descending through the atmosphere and
only evades capture by fleeing to Europe, where she lands in Poland.
There, she meets an international arms merchant, Baron Von Limbach, who
becomes her guide. She studies “typical” human behavior by accompanying
the baron as he fulfills his latest assignment—to get the Dalai Lama
back into Tibet. His method of halting the communist takeover of Tibet
is to create a race-specific Ebola that will only attack Han Chinese,
giving Tak a prime example of how barbaric humans can be. However, the
CIA and US military are aware of Tak’s presence on Earth and are
determined to capture her. And if she is unable to complete her mission
and return to her starship—her captain will destroy every living thing
on Earth.
Ernie,
an experienced logger from rural Washington State, loses his job when
the logging operation he works for is shut down due to the spotted owl.
When he goes in to apply for unemployment, Ernie is persuaded to take a
job out of state as a temporary insurance adjuster in Los Angeles. While
he knows that Los Angeles will be a lot different than Sedro Woolley,
Washington, and insurance adjusting a lot different than logging,
really, how hard can it be? And there are lots of downed trees in
Southern California after the recent earthquake and storms they had
there. So packing up his trusty chainsaw in his saddlebags, Ernie hops
on his motorcycle and heads south. But to his dismay, Ernie discovers
that LA is a lot farther from Washington in more than just miles.
Unprepared for the corruption and callousness rampant in the insurance
industry, Ernie soon finds himself not only in trouble with his job, but
on the top of an assassin’s hit list. Still, although Ernie might be a
hick from the sticks, he’s far from stupid. Blessed with an innate
intelligence, an abundance of common sense, and a redneck sense of
humor, Ernie will give his enemies a hilarious run for their money…if he
can just survive long enough.
