About the book

About Unlikely Heroes, Strange Places

Writers Michael Angel and J.D. Cutler have explored some delightfully strange places, ranging from plague-ravaged East Africa to the galaxy's best chowder house, with a side stop at the men's room in the Vatican. And they've queued up ten (okay, eleven) stories of suspenseful, speculative fiction for you. Uncover the painful, bruise-covered truth of how Shakespeare became literature's leading light. Tag along as an investigative reporter hunts down a mysterious figure that's able to predict the future. And tune into Texas station KRAP (don't touch that dial, there's KRAP on it!) as a pair of down-home country DJs try their damnedest to stop a murder...while they're still on the air. Stories included in this collection: Strangelets with a Side of Grilled Spam The Prelate and the Porcelain (An Assassin in the Vatican) A Talent for Fire Quarantine on the Black Nile Sharpest Tool in the Shed Slumgullion Sector A Road Painted in Scarlet The Most Wanted Woman The Pusher's List I Got Some Bad Muse for You And A Most Helpful Text - a special Bonus Story not included with the prior Anthologies Grace Under Pressure or Strangelets, Strange Powers, and a Side of Spam. Also included with this anthology are preview chapters of Michael Angel's novel of 'Fantasy and Forensics', Centaur of the Crime.
