Welcome to Greeve. A sun-drenched backwater world, where people earn their keep from the sea. It's nowhere important, far from any of Mankind's petty politics and intrigues.
Few of its residents are more familiar than old John, who's been fishing its waters for decades. He keeps to himself, mostly. Nobody really knows him. No one knows where he came from. But how dangerous can he be?
Then another off-worlder settles in, with no apparent goal other than devoting the rest of his days to local drugs and local women.
Old John is horrified to recognize him at once.
How dangerous can Old John be? As dangerous as any man alive...]]> Wed, 08 Nov 2017 21:16:52 +0200 Her Husband's Hands https://www.bookfrom.net/adam-troy-castro/80222-her_husbands_hands.html https://www.bookfrom.net/adam-troy-castro/80222-her_husbands_hands.html Her Husband's Hands
A utopia where the most privileged get to do whatever they want to do with their lives, indulging their slightest whims via the bodies whose wombs they occupy; a soldier's wife tries to love a husband who is little more than backup memory; a society in which the citizens all make merry for nine remarkable days, and on the tenth get a taste of hell; the last ragged survivors of an expedition to a savage backwater world hunt down an infamous war criminal; a divorcing couple confront their myriad troubles to gain resolution, reason, respect - but not without sacrifice. Introducing these stories (and more) from Adam-Troy Castro, whose short fiction has been nominated for two Hugos, three Stokers, and eight Nebulas. ]]> Fri, 08 Nov 2013 21:16:52 +0200 Her Husband's Hands and Other Stories https://www.bookfrom.net/adam-troy-castro/80227-her_husbands_hands_and_other_stories.html https://www.bookfrom.net/adam-troy-castro/80227-her_husbands_hands_and_other_stories.html Her Husband's Hands and Other Stories

Two stories from the early years of Andrea Cort, later the heroine of the Philip K. Dick Award-winning novel, Emissaries from the Dead.
"The Coward's Option": On the hostile home-world of the Caith, Andrea Cort has been assigned the case of a murderer who's been condemned to a horrible death. All legal options have been exhausted, but the Caith offer a rarely-used alternative to execution, one that purports to ensure that the accused will never break the law again. Alas, it's not so much another chance at life, but deliverance into a hell far worse than mere death...
"Tasha's Fail-Safe": Once, she and Andrea Cort hated each other. Now, the victim of a savage assassination attempt by a traitor to the Confederacy, she lies in an unresponsive state, the identity of her assailant locked inside her head. Can Andrea penetrate a vital secret she never even knew existed?]]> Wed, 08 Nov 2017 21:16:52 +0200 Gustav Gloom and the Four Terrors https://www.bookfrom.net/adam-troy-castro/80226-gustav_gloom_and_the_four_terrors.html https://www.bookfrom.net/adam-troy-castro/80226-gustav_gloom_and_the_four_terrors.html Gustav Gloom and the Four Terrors

Two murders have occurred on One One One, an artificial ecosystem created by the universe’s dominant AIs to house several engineered species, including a violent, sentient race of sloth-like creatures. Under order from the Diplomatic Corps, Counselor Andrea Cort has come to this cylinder world where an indentured human community hangs suspended high above a poisoned, acid atmosphere. Her assignment is to choose a suitable homicide suspect from among those who have sold their futures to escape existences even worse than this one. And no matter where the trail leads her she must do nothing to implicate the hosts, who hold the power to obliterate humankind in an instant. But Andrea Cort is not about to hold back in her hunt for a killer. For she has nothing to lose and harbors no love for her masters or fellow indentures. And she herself has felt the terrible exhilaration of taking life….]]> Wed, 12 Nov 2008 09:08:50 +0200 The Third Claw of God https://www.bookfrom.net/adam-troy-castro/80223-the_third_claw_of_god.html https://www.bookfrom.net/adam-troy-castro/80223-the_third_claw_of_god.html The Third Claw of God
