The Doomsday Brunette FROM OUR EDITORS
The Barnes & Noble Review
It's no mystery what kind of novel John Zakour and Lawrence Ganem's Doomsday Brunette is. The title says it all. The story, which features Zachary Nixon Johnson, the last freelance private investigator on the planet in the year 2058, is hard-boiled science fiction at its pulpy best.
Struggling detective Johnson hopes to put an end to his financial difficulties by accepting a case from one of the most recognized -- and stunningly beautiful -- women in the world. Ona Thompson is the oldest of the internationally famous Thompson Quads, four identical genetically enhanced sisters cloned by their late father, a brilliant scientist who also invented the ultimate doomsday device, lovingly nicknamed TEOATI for The End of All That Is. When Johnson is called to Ona's mansion in the middle of the night, he enters a bizarre murder scene. All four sisters are present, but one lies dead in a pool of red wine. As Johnson delves deeper, he learns not only that the sisters have completely different personalities but also that they all hate each other. Throw in octogenarian alien doppelgᄑngers, a talking mountain gorilla, a sarcastic computer implant, and a bevy of beauties, and you've got yourself a mystery worthy of Mickey Spillane's Mike Hammer!
Comparable to Simon R. Green's Nightside novels (Something from the Nightside and Agents of Light and Darkness), Zakour and Ganem's Zachary Johnson novels -- which include The Plutonium Blonde and the forthcoming The Radioactive Redhead -- are laugh-out-loud, action-packed mystery thrillers that both revere and lampoon the golden age of pulp fiction.
