Books by Michael Garcia

A DIRECTOR'S VISION OF THE ULTIMATE STEAMPUNK ADVENTURE Rush aboard Arkiselas Tultan's Sky Galleon! Do whatever to compete for the gold bullion prize in Her Majesty's Great Race Across Africa... An Africa run on steam. This is C Michael Garcia's visualisations and storyboard etchings, and notes for the development of the most controversial steampunk adventure yet. Here you will find a Colonialised Africa infused in an alternate reality complete with flying steamships, inter-dimensional creature powered land vehicles and sustained-open portals between worlds enabling visitors and earthlings to commune without border controls. Where human energy is taxed and obviously-alien royalty live on earth in the sheer delight of their newfound abilities on a world with a lesser gravity and a more pleasing sun.

While on vacation, coolly-calculating Inspector Potto Gumpuff of the two independently-thinking brains with the stoic-sense-of-humour collides into a situation where a murder has been committed and he must solve the case-and super quickly-before all the clues either 'vanish' or are swept up and taken away forever. Set in a retro-tech world, where aliens and humanoids are forced to co-exist and accept each others customs and absurdities. In a place where Google has been replaced by OMNI, a chugging search engine that delivers cleverer-than- thou answers. And placed amid all the sheer exuberance of detail and cosmic craziness, it is pure genius. Think of GLIMPSE as a cross between Bladerunner and Agatha Christie. "GLIMPSE cliffhangers like a matinee show and delivers like the great detective stories of yesteryear! -The only other great sci-fi book of its class is Robert Silverberg's Across A Billion Years!" - Sci-Fi-X
