Culprits

Outstanding praise for CULPRITS “CULPRITS has a consistently strong lineup of writers and a great hook! Brewer and Phillips have done a fantastic job putting together this multi-layered story and I couldn’t read it fast enough!” —Steve Hamilton, Edgar Award-Winning Author of EXIT STRATEGY “CULPRITS slams the bull’s eye for first-rate entertainment. From the heart-stopping robbery that opens the book to each of the linked short stories that follow, you’ll find the nine murderously good noir authors of this smart collection deliver a plate brimming with suspense, thrills, and violence. Sit down and savor. What a ride.” —Gayle Lynds, New York Times bestselling author of THE ASSASSINS "A well executed heist, like fine wine, pleasures the palate and can age well. In CULPRITS, liken the aftermath of the criminals from a heist to craft beer and a bumpy ride. Prepare to stay up all night!” —Cara Black, New York Times bestselling author of the Aimée Leduc series "CULPRITS is quite a lot of fun...If you are looking for a smart, entertaining book then this is it.” —Unlawful Acts Praise for OCCUPIED EARTH “Alien occupation has never been so dark and sexy. Occupied Earth is The Fifth Wave meets Robopocalypse, in the best way possible.” —Michelle Gagnon, author of the PERSEFONE series "Plenty of applicable social commentary. We get to read tales of heroes and martyrs, as well as traitors and collaborators, although the lines are often blurred. A fantastic collection of short stories that deliver in a cohesive narrative. Highly recommended." —SF Reader "The narrative universe feels cohesive and genuine, making it easy to invest yourself in the champions and villains alike. Occupied Earth is collaborative sci-fi done right." —Manhattan Book Review "Clearly, these writers know what they're doing. The stories range from brutal and R-rated to straight-up sci-fi action. One neat thing about the book as a complete entity is the presence of hope. It's not dystopia and misery. The oppressed plan to rebel. The good guys aim to fight. That's good stuff." —RevolutionSF "A unique and impressive anthology that deserves to be brought to the attention of science fiction fans everywhere...a terrifically entertaining read with deftly crafted short stories that will linger in the mind and memory long after this outstanding anthology is finished and set back upon the shelf. Very highly recommended." —Midwest Book Review "Fans of “alien invasion” sci-fi, near-future dystopia, post-apoc (though this isn’t strictly that), and good old classic science-fiction will find much to engage in this diverse yet unified collection of quality sci-fi stories." —The Blood-Shed
