Sirian Summer - John Bowers - Bog

When Nick Walker arrives on Sirius 1 to take over the United Federation Marshal's office at Kline Corners, his first priority is to find out who murdered the man he is replacing, Ron Gates. Kline Corners is like no place he has ever seen - it looks like an old West cow town, complete with sheriff and saloon.But things are not what they seem. Nick soon discovers an epidemic of missing girls, talk of racial oppression, and outright human slavery. If he can get to the bottom of those issues, he may learn who murdered Ron Gates. Nothing happens in a vacuum, and Nick's activities come to the attention of powerful people who don't want any changes to the status quo. Working largely alone, except for the help of a teenage boy and an aging sheriff with questionable loyalties, Nick soon finds himself facing a powerful bureaucracy who will stop at nothing to shut him down...permanently, if necessary.Sirian Summer, a science fiction adventure, is a fast-paced tale of action and romance on the Final Frontier, racially motivated and politically charged. You've never read anything like it. "A great read for scifi/fantasy fans ..." -Flying With Red Haircrow"... will keep you turning the pages right to the end ..." -Ben
