Necropolis

by Avtar Singh

A gorgeously written and tightly plotted mystery novel that brings the city of Delhi alive, in ways both enchanting and provocative. “Someone is cutting off victims’ fingers in New Delhi and vampires and lycans are suspects in this ambitious mix of detection and the supernatural from Singh.” —Publishers Weekly Necropolis follows Sajan Dayal, a detective in pursuit of a serial (though nonlethal) collector of fingers. He encounters would-be vampires and werewolves, and a woman named Razia who may or may not be centuries old. Guided by Singh’s gorgeous and masterful writing, the novel peels back layers of a city in thrall to its past, hostage to its present, and bitterly divided as to its future. Delhi went from being an imperial capital to provincial backwater in a few centuries: the journey back to exploding commercial metropolis has been compressed into a few decades. Combining elements of crime, fantasy, and noir, Necropolis tackles the questions of origin, ownership, and class that such a revolution inevitably raises. The world of Delhi, the sweep of its history—its grandeur, grimness, and criminality—all of it comes alive in Necropolis.

Necroscope®: The Möbius Murders (Necroscope #1)

by Brian Lumley

Harry Keough, aka the Necroscope, has always considered himself a master of the Mobius Continuum - a dimension existing parallel to all space and time and his personal instantaneous gateway to anywhere in the multiverse. But this is hardly overweening conceit on Harry's part, for to his knowledge he is not unique; two other intelligences, with powers similar to his, do indeed exist. One such is the long-dead August Ferdinand Mobius himself, the German astronomer, mathematician, and discoverer of the eponymous Mobius Strip which led him to explore, posthumously, his previously conjectural Continuum; and the other is Harry's son, who has not only inherited his father's mathematical skill but also the metaphysical talent by means of which the Necroscope converses with dead people in their graves! Picture Harry's confusion, then, on returning home via the Mobius Continuum from an adventure in Las Vegas, as he witnesses however briefly a flailing figure hurtling conscious but uncontrolled through the endless midnight of the Continuum. Who could this be - how can it be? - that a helpless, silently protesting other is rushing meteor-like across the Continuum's Stygian vault? Moreover, if he hasn't arrived here voluntarily, then what vile murderer has sent his victim on this monstrous journey to the end of life itself? For Harry is sure that this is neither his son's nor Professor Mobius' doing. Who and where is he, this Mobius murderer? It is a mystery that only the Necroscope can ever hope to solve - but at what risk to his own life?

Street thug Riko has some serious issues--memories wiped, reputation tanked, girlfriend turned into a tech-fueled zombie. And the only people who can help are the mercenaries who think she screwed them over.In an apathetic society devoid of ethics or regulation, where fusing tech and flesh can mean a killing edge or a killer conversion, a massive conspiracy is unfolding that will alter the course of the human condition forever. With corporate meatheads on her ass and a necro-tech blight between her and salvation, Riko is going to have to fight meaner, work smarter, and push harder than she's ever had to.

Necrotech (SINless #1)

by K. C. Alexander

K. C. Alexander begins their SINless duology with a novel hailed by New York Times bestselling author Chuck Wendig as “sci-fi that’s slick, sharp and snarky…” A filthy city, overpopulated and underregulated, with even less mercy than a rusted pipe to the eye.For the saints that run it, it’s called home.Anybody with the right cred can score an upgrade, it’s just a matter of who, what and how much. Good tech, bad tech, big tech, micro tech, it’s all out for grabs. For mercs like Riko, installs give an edge every street fight, every corp raid, and every job demands. She and her team have earned their cred, carved out a patch of hell and live it up. That’s where Riko lives. Or she did. Until she wakes up in a laboratory, memory shot, body wrecked and tech on the blink. Maybe she slammed too many party favors in some lowlife bar. Maybe she made some bad choices to get there. None of that explains why she finds her girlfriend in the same facility—body going necro and tech on a killing streak. Caught between horror in front and bullets behind, she’s got no choice but to get out alone. And that’s only the beginning.Now Riko’s dealing with friends on the take, corporations on her ass, and enough rage to burn a soulless city to the ground if that’s what it takes. She’s fighting a war to tear off the scabs of a conspiracy that’ll consume anybody that gets near it—chrome and steel, sinner and saint. Just like it’s consumed her girlfriend. But rage is a hell of a drug, and she’s going to do more than just fight.She’s going to slaughter…Praise for NECROTECH:“NECROTECH crushes everything in its path. Brutal, unapologetic, sexy cyberpunk, it is a steel-fisted punch in the mouth.” — Scott Sigler, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Generations trilogy“Vulgar, vicious, and very very good! Alexander pulls no punches in this intense debut.” — Jason M. Hough, New York Times bestselling author of Zero World“NECROTECH bleeds with raw & unapologetic badassery. Riko is the cyberpunk heroine I’ve been waiting for, struggling with the truth that the tech we embrace to solve our problems just creates new ones, and no one has a chipset to fix humanity’s bugs. K. C. Alexander dials up the attitude, anguish, and adrenaline in this explosive debut, and I’m looking forward to Riko’s next run.” — Kevin Hearne, New York Times bestselling author of The Iron Druid Chronicles“Necrotech is a speed freak rush down mean streets of the digital, the modified, and the just plain crazy. It’s like razors for your brain.”— Richard Kadrey, author of the Sandman Slim series“One of the most interesting women protagonists I’ve read in a long time.”— Stephen Blackmoore, author of the award-nominated noir urban fantasy Dead Things“Scalding and brutal as a radiation shower, punishing as a street fight, and as sharp as a blade to the jugular, NECROTECH and its badass heroine, Riko, will grab your heart in a diamond steel fist and squeeze it to a pulp.” — Lila Bowen, author of Wake of Vultures

Necroville

by Ian McDonald

In the Los Angeles ghetto of Necroville, the yearly celebration of the Night of the Dead - where the dead are resurrected through the miracle of nanotechnology and live their second lives as non-citizens - becomes a journey of discovery and revelation for five individuals on the run from their pasts.

Nectar of Heaven: The Dumarest Saga Book 24 (Dumarest Saga Ser.)

The planet had two unique elements. One was that it produced the galaxy's most desirable hallucinatory drug. The other was that it was a stock broker's paradise.

Find the drug-gem or manipulate the market - two possibilities. But behind the scenes stood the advisors of the inhuman Cyclan, determined to fix the odds against Dumarest . . .
