Synopsis

Planet Dismolle is supposed to be a peaceful haven. So what's with all the gunfire? A criminal gang has moved into Chirless, Dismolle's retirement city. The elderly residents are fed up with loud music, noisy cars and late-night parties-not to mention hold-ups, muggings and the occasional gunfight. Chirless hasn't had a Peace Force branch in years, so Harriet Walsh and her fellow officers rush to help. Unfortunately, they have very little equipment, no local backup, and their only spaceship has just been sold for pocket change. Fortunately, Chirless has plenty of retired Peace Force officers. And when the criminals turn violent, these veterans are ready to dust off their creaky old skills. Outnumbered, outgunned and relying on a bunch of very rusty veterans, can Harriet and her unlikely allies hold the city until help arrives?

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Simon Haynes lives in Western Australia, where he divides his time between herding deadly spiders, dodging drop bears, and making up wildly inaccurate sentences like this one. By day he's an author. By night he's also an author. He loves wry, dry humour, and his hobbies include daringly inserting the letter U into words where -- in some parts of the world at least -- this simply isn't the done thing. As for his genre-spanning novels, they include epic fantasy (with robots), scifi comedy (also with robots), middle grade humour (featuring robots AND the wanton use of the letter U), as well as a series of historical mystery novels set in 1870's London. (No, of course there aren't robots in those. He's not completely out of his mind.) When he's not writing Simon is usually renovating his house, sim-racing online, using twitter (@spacejock), gardening, tweaking his book covers, pondering the meaning of the universe and reading, and if you think it's easy doing all that at the same time you should see what he can do with a mug of coffee, a banana and a large bag of salt. When he's not making outlandish claims he likes to count how many novels he's written, and how many genres he's written them in. (Lots and too many.)
