George Alec Effinger A Fire in the Sun
New York, New York, U.S.A.; Spectra; 1990; 0553274074 / 9780553274073; First Edition; Mass Market Paperback; Good; 0553274074 spine creasing, edge wear; Marid Audran has become everything he once despised. Not so long ago, he was a hustler in the Budayeen, an Arabian ghetto in a Balkanized future Earth. Back then, as often as not, he didn’t have the money to buy himself a drink. But he had his independence. Now Marid works for Friedlander Bey, 'godfather' of the Budayeen, a man whose power stretches across a shattered, crumbling world. During the day, Marid is a policeman - and Bey’s personal envoy to the police. His new position has brought him money and power which he would abandon in a moment if he could return to a life of neither owning nor being owned. Which, unfortunately, isn’t one of his options. It’s also not an issue. For something dark is afoot. Something that is sending the city into chaos. Helping a child-mutilator to avoid arrest. Sending a killer to murder Marid’s partner. Murdering prostitutes and savaging their remains. Signs point to the hand of Abu Adil - the one man in the city whose power rivals Friedlander Bey’s. Whatever happens next, it’s not going to be good news for Marid Audran...; KB004670;

Effinger, George Alec When Gravity Fails
New York; Spectra; 1988; 055325555X / 9780553255553; Mass Market Paperback; Good; 055325555X edge wear; In a decadent world of cheap pleasures and easy death, Marid Audrian has kept his independence the hardway. Still, like everything else in the Budayeen, he’s available - for a price. For a new kind of killer roams the streets of the Arab ghetto, a madman whose bootlegged personality cartridges range from a sinister James Bond to a sadistic disemboweler named Khan. And Marid Audrian has been made an offer he can’t refuse. The 200-year-old 'godfather' of the Budayeen’s underworld has enlisted Marid as his instrument of vengeance. But first Marid must undergo the most sophisticated of surgical implants before he dares to confront a killer who carries the power of every psychopath since the beginning of time. Wry, savage, and unignorable, When Gravity Fails was hailed as a classic by Effinger’s fellow SF writers on its original publication in 1987, and the sequence of 'Marid Audrian' novels it begins were the culmination of his career.; KB003975;
