Yoss Boeken

From beloved Cuban science fiction author Yoss comes a bitingly funny space-opera homage to Raymond Chandler, featuring a positronic robot detective on the hunt for dangerous extraterrestrial criminals. On the intergalactic trading station William S. Burroughs, profit reigns supreme, with aliens as the powerful kingmakers. Earthlings, subservient to their superior technology, conduct business through strictly regulated channels. Enter our hero, Raymond, a positronic robot detective in the android police force, who navigates the complexities of human and alien interactions while maintaining order and apprehending wrongdoers. However, he faces an unprecedented challenge in the form of Makrow 34, a fugitive Cetian with psi powers that can manipulate statistical probabilities—causing bizarre occurrences like indoor rain or turning captors against themselves. To confront this formidable adversary, Raymond must rely on his extensive training and his knowledge of Chandler's hardboiled detectives. Yoss masterfully blends the familiar with the strange, creating a richly imagined universe where the laws of physics are bent by the bad guys, and delivering an unforgettable half-human hero in this captivating tale.

Caboose the Moose, a giant moose with magical antlers, embarks on adventures with his forest friends to tackle important environmental issues such as pollution and climate change. Drawing inspiration from Dr. Seuss, the narrative presents these sensitive topics in a poetic manner, making them accessible to children. In this tale, the unexpected hero, Faust the Mouse, plays a crucial role in saving Caboose from becoming a trophy, highlighting themes of conservation and the importance of unlikely friendships in protecting nature.
