Dos what a Gates Book,

This review is from: The Radioactive Redhead (Daw Science Fiction) (Paperback)
Zach is at it again, and what an opener..
I am re-reading the book and it gets better and better. HARV is at his best, and the laughs never-end. What a compliment to the cross-genre of pulp mysteries and Science Fiction. This series is a must have... I love it and can not wait for the nest one to come out.

Great, but not 'Great',

This review is from: The Radioactive Redhead (Daw Science Fiction) (Paperback)
When I saw that this book, the third in the series was coming out I bookmarked it and bought it. It's just as enjoyable as the previous two, but a bit lacking.
It takes a bit of talent to combine SF, Humour, & hard-boiled detective fiction.....these guys manage to do it pretty well.

As always in a Zachary tale, zaniness rules,
This review is from: The Radioactive Redhead (Daw Science Fiction) (Paperback)
In 2060 feeling at times extinct especially when he is on a case, Zachary Nixon Johnson is the last private eye on Earth. His assistant Artificial Intelligence HARV has been downloaded into his brain. Though helpful HARV seems to find ways to irritate Zach especially when he experiments on himself without warning the sleuth. However, this time his partner goes to far when HARV decides to find his feminine side and undergoes a sex change operation so that he is now the she HARA.
Zach goes to the Oakland Kabuki Palace Theater and Dinette to meet with a potential client. Kabuki Droid Assassins try to kill him as part of the production The Revenge of the Forty-Seven Samurai. He survives the onslaught and manages to save the life of teen superstar Sexy Sprockets, who the People Against Talentless Acts (PATA) want dead. Things turn worse when the beleagured sleuth learns he is also the star of a new reality show Let's kill Zach so he asks his psi "niece" Carol to help him before realizing that she dyed her hair red same as Sexy and HARA; three redheads cannot be good for anyone's health let alone the world's last private detective. As always in a Zachary tale, zaniness rules as the last living private eye struggles with three lethal scenarios. The network's reality show stars him in a death role; PATA efforts to kill Sexy though he somewhat agrees with their cause; and finally dealing with three volatile redheads at the same time that could lead any male into suicide just to escape. The amusing science fiction mystery story line is lighthearted fun as the escapades keeping coming at Zach. Harriet Klausner
