Hey Mack! Welcome to the Goddamned Lonely Universe, a future where all your dreams will come true... so long as you can stay alive long enough to enjoy 'em.
When a city cop discovers a disabled cab parked in a back alley in the middle of the night, he prays for the best. But will he find a happy ending or a horrible mess? You’ll have to wait until the stunning conclusion to find out!
Ride along with Henry Abner as we discover the danger, depravity, and deceit that unfolds in the backseat of this runaway taxi tale. A cast of colorful characters fall afoul of sadist funboy hooligans, seductive dames in dark alleys, reckless robots, working girls with big dreams, and the long arm of Johnny Law, as they go for a RIDE to remember.
RIDE is a hard-boiled, speculative fiction short story and the 1st episode of Tales from the Goddamn Lonely Universe from JanosCorp Publications and golden-era pulp fiction heavyweight Henry Abner. This is a world of renegade robots, double-crossing dames, and daring space detectives; of classic noir themes and slick technology. Think of it as Raymond Chandler clinking drinks with Ray Bradbury, in a gin-joint owned by Robert Heinlein. Bottoms up!
Approx. 9,000 words, or long enough for two trips on the crosstown expressway.
This ebook also includes the first two chapters of RELATIVITY, the debut full-length novel set in the Goddamned Lonely Universe.
