Jake Sullivan is a war hero, a private eye-and an ex-con. He's free because he has a magical talent, being able to alter the force of gravity in himself and objects in his vicinity, and the Bureau of Investigation calls on him when they need his help in apprehending criminals with their own magical talents. But the last operation he was sent along to help with went completely wrong, and Delilah Jones, the woman the G-men were after, who just happened to be an old friend of Jake's in happier times, had a lot of magical muscle with her, too much muscle for the cops to handle, even with Jake's help.It got worse. Jake found out that the Feds had lied to him about Delilah being a murderer as well as a bank robber, and they had lied about this being his last job for them-he was too valuable for them to let him go. And things were even worse than Jake imagined. There was a secret war being waged by opposing forces of magic-users, and Jake had no idea that he had just attracted the attention of one side, whose ruthless leaders were of the opinion that Jake was far too dangerous to be permitted to live...At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (DRM Rights Management).

Fantastic pulp noir, steampunk, alt-history, urban fantasy! I am not sure I would have been able to read this all the way through because it did seem a dull and more details where givem about the guns then most of the main characters. Bronson Pinchot, the narrator is does a superb job, which kept my...

This book was a bit weird but then I knew it was going to be an alternate reality story so I cannot say that I am surprised. It’s a good book. You’re jumped straight into this alternate reality that he has created without much of an explanation or presentation and you basically learn as you go (or a...

This review is also available on my blog, Stumptown Books.Don't judge a book by its cover is the aphorism to remember here. For weeks I thought this novel was a graphic novel based solely upon the cover art, and the fact that there was no Kindle edition to buy cinched the opinion for me. Then the ...
