Bücher der Reihe Memoirs from a Parallel Universe

Jake "Facebreaker" Sharkar lives his life between the lines of law-and-order and outright villainy. Fresh from committing murder, he finds that his employer has a proposition for him. Instead of paying him for his work, Jake has the opportunity to help find and share in the profits if he helps recover the lost treasure of Solomon Lake. Not even wandering aliens will keep Jake from garnering glory and promised wealth. Make no mistake, it is unwise to double-cross a man like Jake. And, for those who thought they could, they have another thing coming. Ride through the Host Systems and beyond, as Jake searchesthe galaxy for a fabled cache of alien artifacts looted and lost hundreds of years earlier by the maverick explorer Solomon Lake - that mythological pioneer, miner, and wild-man, who flew by the seat of his pants and lived a life of a libertine - After all, who doesn't want to be a libertine?. Buckle up - it's blastoff time.

Jack has tried to forget the Great War. The horrors he witnessed haunt his dreams. In the roaring economy of the post war years, he finds himself caught between the chaos of prohibition, and the growth of The Bureau. His first assignment is to find a missing socialite. A young rich libertine who vanished without a trace. In the ensuing days, Jack uncovers oddities that have little rational explanation. Bodies begin to stack up - some mutilated, and some malformed. Mysterious agents, twisted doctors, and a government conspiracy - all point to one man whose mad ambition might just open the door to a living nightmare. As Jack tracks his missing man - those ghosts from the trenches are never too far behind. Is he still fighting upon the fields of France? Or are those sounds of war in his head, and he is really a G-Man? Jack realizes the horror that is creeping from the beyond cares not for any man or his dreams. It cares only to devour souls, and perhaps some human flesh as its appetites dictates.
