Zomnibus
by Kevin J AndersonMeet Dan Chambeaux—a.k.a. Dan Shamble—zombie detective, a persistent hardboiled gumshoe (or maybe that&’s something more sinister on the bottom of his shoe…) Even being murdered doesn&’t keep a good detective down, and in the Unnatural Quarter—inhabited by ghosts, vampires, werewolves, mummies, and all sorts of creatures that go bump (or thud!) in the night—a zombie P.I. fits right in. Dan Shamble solves a string of madcap cases with his ghost girlfriend Sheyenne, his Best Human Friend Officer Toby McGoohan, and his firebrand lawyer partner Robin Deyer.And first on the list: finding out who murdered him.This Zomnibus contains the complete first Dan Shamble novel, Death Warmed Over, plus the seven individual cases showcased in the collection Working Stiff, together in one volume. It&’s a perfect way to dig up the dirt on a lot of things that would rather stay buried.Dan Shamble puts the PI in RIP.

The Zone Continuum
by Bruce ZickThe Zones- extra dimensional planes of existence directly corresponding with our own world, and populated by an ancient race known only as the Natives. As mankind threatens its own existence with warfare and pollution, so too are the Zones affected, shrinking ever smaller as a result of the havoc wrought upon Earth. Now, the livable space of Manhattan's Zone 27 grows dangerously constrained, forcing the Natives ever higher into the skyline, and two nigh-immortal champions compete in an invisible war for dominance--but the consequences of their conflict could shatter not only the stability of the Zone Continuum, but also that of reality itself!
The Zone Continuum: Legacy
by Bruce ZickFar above the streets of New York City, higher than the grinning gargoyles and gargantuan megawatt billboards, the heroic Talon is locked in immortal conflict with the nefarious Spere for control of their entire world! This is Zone 27 . . . and it's shrinking. Revisit Disney animator Bruce Zick's original Sci-Fi noir opus, collecting the entire four-issue Caliber Press run of The Zone Continuum for the first time ever, with dozens of pieces of bonus material!"The Zone Continuum has a style of it's own that falls somewhere between a retro 50's sci-fi movie and Frank Miller's Sin City." -- Evilgeek
Zone One: A Novel
by Colson WhiteheadIn this wry take on the post-apocalyptic horror novel, a pandemic has devastated the planet. The plague has sorted humanity into two types: the uninfected and the infected, the living and the living dead. Now the plague is receding, and Americans are busy rebuilding civilization under orders from the provisional government based in Buffalo. Their top mission: the resettlement of Manhattan. Armed forces have successfully reclaimed the island south of Canal Street--aka Zone One--but pockets of plague-ridden squatters remain. While the army has eliminated the most dangerous of the infected, teams of civilian volunteers are tasked with clearing out a more innocuous variety--the "malfunctioning" stragglers, who exist in a catatonic state, transfixed by their former lives. Mark Spitz is a member of one of the civilian teams working in lower Manhattan. Alternating between flashbacks of Spitz's desperate fight for survival during the worst of the outbreak and his present narrative, the novel unfolds over three surreal days, as it depicts the mundane mission of straggler removal, the rigors of Post-Apocalyptic Stress Disorder, and the impossible job of coming to grips with the fallen world. And then things start to go wrong. Both spine chilling and playfully cerebral, Zone One brilliantly subverts the genre's conventions and deconstructs the zombie myth for the twenty-first century.From the Hardcover edition.

Zones of Thought: A Fire Upon the Deep, A Deepness in the Sky
by Vernor VingeVinge's masterpieces together at last, in one epic volumeThe Hugo Award winning A FIRE UPON THE DEEP and its epic companion novel A DEEPNESS IN THE SKY, set in the same universe but 20,000 years earlier, were benchmarks for SF in the last decade of the 20th century. In FIRE 'Vinge presents a galaxy divided into Zones - regions where different physical constraints allow very different technological and mental possibilities. Earth remains in the "Slowness" zone, where nothing can travel faster than light and minds are fairly limited. The action of the book is in the "Beyond", where translight travel and other marvels exist, and humans are one of many intelligent species. One human colony has been experimenting to find a path to the "Transcend", where intelligence and power are so great as to seem godlike. Instead they release the Blight, an evil power, from a billion-year captivity.' Publisher's Weekly In DEEPNESS, 'the story has the same sense of epic vastness despite happening mostly in one isolated solar system. Here there's a world of intelligent spider creatures who traditionally hibernate through the "Deepest Darkness" of their strange variable sun's long "off" periods, when even the atmosphere freezes. Now, science offers them an alternative. Meanwhile, attracted by spider radio transmissions, two human starfleets come exploring - merchants hoping for customers and tyrants who want slaves. Their inevitable clash leaves both fleets crippled, with the power in the wrong hands, which leads to a long wait in space until the spiders develop exploitable technology. Over the years Vinge builds palpable tension through multiple storylines and characters.' Dave Langford
