Combining the first and fourth novels of S. Andrew Swann’s genre-spanning series, The Moreau Quartet: Volume One centers on moreau private detective Nohar Rajasthan, and includes a new afterword by the author. 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. 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. In Forests of the Night: 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. In Fearful Symmetries: 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.
The Moreau Quartet Volume 1 is an omnibus of S. Andrew Swann’s Forests of the Night and Fearful Symmetries.
Praise for the Moreau Quartet: “An entertaining, hard-boiled detective novel set in a gritty, relatively near-future…. If any book was meant to be made into an action-adventure movie, this is it.” —Locus “Mix in every detective novel you’ve ever read, include some Terminator and The Incredible Hulk, and you’ve got Nohar…. I look forward to more adventures.” —VOYA “Fast-paced and well-written, with a plot packed with action and suspense…. To create a credible tiger-”human with whom the reader can empathize is no mean feat, but Swann pulls it off.” —Kliatt “Here is the printed-page equivalent of an action movie: a novel as vivid as a cinema blockbuster loaded with high-budget special effects…. It also has the rhythm of an action flick, with violent fight or chase scenes occurring at frequent intervals.” —The New York Review of Science Fiction
