As she rises up through the political ranks back on Mars—with tensions increasing between an oppressive &“Mother Earth&” and her rebellious &“Red Rabbit&” children—Casseia soon realizes that an enlightened ideology alone will not save her planet and its people.

Mowbray y los Tiburones: Una Novela de Fantasmas, Gánsters y Nazis
by William Howard Denson IIIMOWBRAY Y LOS TIBURONES (2ª edición), el ladrón de bancos del Medio Oeste Tommy-Gun Watson intenta superar a Dillinger, a Bonnie y también a Clyde mientras roba en su camino hacia la ciudad de Nueva York en 1936. Se queja de que los periódicos ignoran sus hazañas y sólo prestan atención al aspirante a heredero Tommy Watson y sus supuestas travesuras. Tommy compite con su primo Conrad Blocker por una herencia de 137 millones de dólares de su tío Sinclair Watson. Ninguno de los dos primos sabe que el "concurso" de buen comportamiento está amañado para que la fortuna vaya a parar a un frente nazi para que promueva el pacifismo americano en vísperas de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Las bromas de Conrad hacen que Tommy se sienta avergonzado por Bubbles LaBonza, la Boom Boom Girl de Paducah. También es la amiga del mafioso Bugsy Rittoria, que está convencido de que el chico Watson es el gángster que amenaza con apoderarse de Nueva York. Mientras Tommy suspira por su amada Ellen, Bugsy se acerca al líder de la banda rival, Ratsky Fluegel, para contratar a un temido sicario, Luigi Goldberg O'Brien, de Chicago. Mowbray tiene un talento que puede ser útil a medida que la historia avanza hacia las campanas de boda o las campanas de funeral: Es capaz de ver fantasmas desde que un experimento salió mal cuando era un niño. La historia evoca el "Fantasma de Canterville" de Oscar Wilde, las historias de "Topper" de Thorne Smith, el Jeeves de P.G. Wodehouse y los coloridos malos de Damon Runyon. El universo fantasmal de Mowbray tiene estas restricciones: En primer lugar, generalmente no es saludable ser un fantasma; no todos los que mueren se convierten en fantasmas; algunos fantasmas no pueden ver a otros fantasmas; nadie les habla, por lo que son propensos a volverse locos.
