Eurasian Gambit—a Sci-Fi Crime and Detective Story by S.T. Fargo

Gorgeous women too eager to have sex with failed private eyes, peculiar smuggling deals, and the Chinese Mafia are never the right start to any investigation. Yet, money is too good, and this is how nearly every trouble on this planet begins. It’s a cross-genre book—a sci-fi novel blending alien and crime fiction, a twisted geopolitical plot, and detective science fiction into a vicious crime story that goes far beyond our world.

“There was no life in Greenland for me anymore. Lately, I couldn’t make a single step outside the police stations without tons of Chinese swooping in on me, swinging their arms and legs in the air and wildly screaming. I was stupid enough to think I could return to my miserable hotel, but a whole pack of them already waited for me there. Another bunch patrolled around my former office, and a third kept watch before my apartment building. And they weren’t like those clowns with the kitchen utensils! These were real thugs with real—probably positron—machine guns. Since the aliens came around, such “marvelous” toys were trendy among the gangsters, and they all had them. Eventually, I got out of the trouble by checking into another hotel, but I knew it wasn’t the ultimate answer to my problems. Soon, they would start recognizing me in every hotel in the city and simply wouldn’t let me in.

After the massacre in DuPont’s house, I had a relatively peaceful first night, sleeping until eleven a.m. because I was drained and emotionally exhausted. On the morning, just as expected, Menelaus’ murder had already made a colossal fuss in all the media. Every TV, radio, and website news channel had it as a headline, and the polemic about his wife—and potential heir to his business empire—revived. Unfortunately, I had no time to read articles or listen to radio programs because there was a real chance to become a headline myself. I quickly wrote my report, signed it with the chip in my ID card, and mailed it to Dunkin, careful not to screw up this time. He called me soon after and confirmed all my assumptions about the events in the mansion and their chronology…”
