Los Angeles of 2039 is a baffling and bifurcated place. After the Collapse of 2028, a vast section of LA, the Disincorporated Zone, was disowned by the civil authorities, and became essentially a third world country within the borders of the city. Navigating the boundaries between DZ and LA proper is a tricky task, and there's no one better suited than eccentric private investigator Erasmus Keane. When a valuable genetically altered sheep mysteriously goes missing from Esper Corporation's labs, Keane is the one they call. But while the erratic Keane and his more grounded partner, Blake Fowler, are on the trail of the lost sheep, they land an even bigger case. Beautiful television star Priya Mistry suspects that someone is trying to kill her - and she wants Keane to find out who. When Priya vanishes and then reappears with no memory of having hired them, Keane and Fowler realize something very strange is going on. As they unravel the threads of the mystery, it soon becomes clear that the two cases are connected - and both point to a sinister conspiracy involving the most powerful people in the city. Saving Priya and the sheep will take all of Keane's wits and Fowler's skills, but in the end, they may discover that some secrets are better left hidden. Kroese's The Big Sheep is perfect for fans of Philip Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep, Terry Pratchett's Guards! Guards!, and Scalzi's Old Man's War.

"Turning Tuscan" is a story about what it's like to fall in love with Tuscany in your mid-life years, to buy a home there, to change around your work, and, finally, to leave the San Francisco Bay Area and move with your wife and children to a tiny Tuscan village. That's the first part. The second part tries to share what it's like living here once you've made the move: learning the language, becoming part of a village community, running a tour company, understanding the political scene, getting an internet connection, enjoying Renaissance art, spending time in the hospital, appreciating the bureaucracy, and enduring customer service at The Phone Company. It has been written in a way that will make you feel like an honored guest invited into the cockpit as we transfer from America to Tuscany and set up shop. And, in case you are wondering what kind of crazy person does such a thing, and whether you might be one, I try to share enough personal history and detail about our lives on both sides of the ocean to satisfy your curiosity. As a foreigner who enters into another culture, there is a limited window of time available to you to see these things and to try to record them in some way. You have to become Italian enough to play the game, but not so Italian yet that it all becomes invisible. If you wait too long, you are no longer in a position to reflect or comment on cultural differences because what people are doing seems totally normal to you. Ripeness is all, as the poet said, and hopefully I've managed to capture for you some of the subtler aspects of living here that travel photos, even high resolution ones, can never reveal.

ISBN: 9781401056698

No comments on Gunnison's work are complete if they don't zero in on his style, which is lively, engaging, and moves through complex interrelated ideas with grace and ease. His passions for life and faith in the sublime are truly refreshing and there are quotable gems galore: "motorcycles are the truth about speed" and "love is a conspiracy against the ordinary" are typical. When Herb is sufficiently provoked he grabs a sledgehammer from the arsenal of his intellect as in the following rejoinder to the news that atomic scientists think nuclear explosions are "beautiful" beautiful my ass that's my philosophy When appropriate , Herb can be lyrical. "Oh how I love to ride on drizzly summer days tucked in behind a misty windscreen, insulated from the moist wind chill by a rainsuit, listening to the song of a perfectly tuned engine, absorbed in the rush of my solitary world lonely unassailable, aching with day long joy as I watch the earth renew its sweet mysterious self around me." The word is coming in over and over that this book is an absorbing read. This is not to say it is lacking in serious cultural or personal psychological issues. Herb makes an inspired case for the distractive and self-deadening results of excessive worship of technology in the popular culture. Two attempts to break the coast-to-coast speed record on a motorcycle to celebrate his 45th birthday and 7500 mile motorcycle journey around the U.S. to celebrate his 75th birthday becomes frames and metaphors. Beneath all the excitement Gunnison is burdened with deep psychological problems. He was the third generation offspring of an extraordinarily wealthy lineage. His father, uncle and grandfather were all multi-millionaires. Herb's identity problems set in during adolescence when he got the idea that he was expected to WOW the crowd after three impossible acts to follow. For seventy years he sublimated his identity problem on fast road and dirt bikes and early indication are (Thank God!) that this book fortunately is about to bring him full circle because motorcyclists are gobbling it up and sooner or later the Holier than Thou Group is going to ruefully admit that the motorcyclists they look down on are living in Paradise. Every purchase of this book. Is a vote for our respectability.
