He called himself Zoot Marlowe, said he’d just blown in from Cay City, but even the wacked out surfer dudes could tell that the four-foot detective with the giant schnoz was from somewhere out of their world. Still, he could throw a mean frisbee and he said he was a private eye, and when someone decided to smash and trash all the surfing robots in Malibu just days before the biggest surfing contest of the year, Zoot was the only being around willing to track the bot beaters down. But Zoot didn’t know just how widespread a conspiracy he was about to run up against. For this first case of his Earthly career would see him taking on everything from the Malibu cops to Samurai robots; motorcycle madmen to talking gorillas; and a misplaced mistress of genetic manipulation! "Gilden proves that you can write first-rate humorous science fiction." —Science Fiction Chronicle

Cowabunga, schweetheart! A book in the manner of Surfing Samurai Robots! In a Los Angeles that is something like ours--but in which magic has become an integral part of society--P.I. Turner Cronyn doesn't know why he's being threatened by a supernatural being. Does it have anything to do with the fact that zombies looking like him are turning up all over town? And who killed Misty Morning, the beautiful mage he was supposed to be protecting? But on the bright side, a beautiful woman named Astraea Scales seems determined to help with his investigations. There's just one little problem: is she really a Greek goddess related to the Three Fates--or does she just look like one? This is just one of the life-and-death questions that Cronyn must answer to avoid being made a zombie himself. Great fantasy and mystery adventure--the first in a series.
