<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Combining the first and fourth novels of S. Andrew Swann's genre-spanning series, <i>The Moreau Quartet: Volume One</i> centers on moreau private detective Nohar Rajasthan, and includes a new afterword by the author. <p/> It's 2053, and the U.S. has long since genetically engineered life successfully. "Moreaus," humanoid and animal hybrids, and "frankensteins," genetically manipulated humans, live as second-class citizens. <p/> Nohar Rajasthan is a moreau, a humanoid of tiger stock. Raised by a human after his parents' death, Nohar ekes out a career as a private eye. Mixing science fiction with detective thrillers, Nohar's story leaps off the page with all the nonstop excitement and danger of an action blockbuster. <p/> In <i>Forests of the Night</i> <i> </i>When Nohar accepts a commission from a frankenstein to investigate the death of the campaign manager of a local politico, all hell breaks loose. Nohar finds himself targeted by everyone from local cops to federal agents to a drug-running gang to an assassin with a 100% kill rate. <p/> In <i>Fearful Symmetries</i> Nohar retired from the private eye business ten years ago, and just wants to spend his remaining time in the peace and quiet of his wilderness homestead. So when a human lawyer asks him to take on a missing moreau case, he refuses--and soon after is attacked by a paramilitary team. Now Nohar must find the missing moreau and discover why some- one wants him dead.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Praise for the Moreau Quartet: <br> "An entertaining, hard-boiled detective novel set in a gritty, relatively near-future.... <b>If any book was meant to be made into an action-adventure movie, this is it</b>." --<i>Locus</i> <p/> "Mix in every detective novel you've ever read, <b>include some <i>Terminator</i> and <i>The Incredible Hulk</i>, and you've got Nohar</b>.... I look forward to more adventures." --<i>VOYA</i> <p/> "Fast-paced and well-written, with a plot packed with action and suspense.... <b>To create a credible tiger-"human with whom the reader can empathize is no mean feat, but Swann pulls it off</b>." --<i>Kliatt</i> <p/> "Here is the printed-page equivalent of an action movie: <b>a novel as vivid as a cinema blockbuster loaded with high-budget special effects</b>.... It also has the rhythm of an action flick, with violent fight or chase scenes occurring at frequent intervals." --<i>The New York Review of Science Fiction </i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>S. Andrew Swann</b> lives in the Greater Cleveland area. He has a background in mechanical engineering.
