Blending
science fiction, mystery, and pulp adventure, each "First
Encounters" novella introduces new characters and builds
an ongoing story to create an entirely new pulp fiction
world.
I: The
Ghost Writer: A
police detective turned reporter investigates
a string of arsons with the help of a mysterious
informant. But even with inside information,
this former cop may not have a chance against
a firebug armed with super-sophisticated
incendiary devices, the likes of which Earth
has never seen.
