The Radioactive Redhead Daw Science Fiction John Zakour Lawrence Ganem 9780756402822 Books

How to talk about this fun-filled, sexy (though not really erotic) sci-fi private eye romp without giving too much away is tricky. If I tell you too much about the plot or the characters and how they behave or misbehave then I've robbed you of learning that stuff first hand by reading the story.
How about this -- let's say Zakour has a way of fusing all the usual conventions of your typical film noir type gumshoe, Zachary Nixon Johnson (yes, that's the hero's name) with some truly "out of this world" experiences -- or make that bizarre futuristic experiences. Toss in some delectable babes who are much more formidable than one would imagine at first glance. Add a computer who's a sidekick and you have heady and enjoyable brew, just enough froth and just enough substance to be a very entertaining read.
I've read everyone of Zakour's books in the series so I'm a fan and of course, my bias shows in this review. Even so, reading these adventures is a fun ride and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Hop on board and see for yourself.

The Radioactive Redhead Daw Science Fiction John Zakour Lawrence Ganem 9780756402822 Books Reviews

Teen pop star Sexy Sprockets and Zach meet during a killer performance at the Oakland Kabuki Palace Theatre. As he is trying to save himself from Kabuki actors with real weapons, Zach also saves Sexy because, as he explains to HARV, she is a woman. Sexy is impressed by Zach and hires him as her personal bodyguard as she is receiving some serious death treats while preparing her first farewell tour. HARV is also impressed by the way Zach acted and upgrades itself with hilarious consequences. The interaction between Zach and his personal computer are always funny and I'm often taken by surprise at some of the retorts. Another funny story that is more mysterious than I initially thought. Zach has to find who wants to kill Sexy, and at the same time stay alive from both killer robots and his girlfriend Electra who is not happy about his new employer. Very funny read, this series is hilarious and entertaining.
It's the not-too-distant future, but the world is a very different place. Reality TV is the preferred entertainment of the masses. Entertainment moguls will go to whatever lengths necessary to procure their next "big" star. Teen pop sensations rise to meteoric heights on their looks and dancing ability - singing talent need not apply. Teen slang is impenetrable to adults . . . wait, that's not so very different, is it?

Well, they have hover-cars. Blasters. Laser knives. How cool is that? Not to mention maid-bots, Kabuki androids and interactive computers that are intelligent enough to be your personal assistant.

Zachary Nixon Johnson is the last practicing private eye in the world and he loves his job - most days. Today, he's not so sure. He accepted an anonymous meet at a Kabuki theatre, only to be attacked upon arrival by the entire Kabuki android cast. In the process, he stops to save a luscious redhead, who we learn is named Sexy Sprockets, a teen pop super star. The next day she contacts him and announces that she needs a bodyguard, that she has received death threats. He agrees to take the case. To make matters worse, HARV - his computerized personal assistant, the most powerful computer in the world - has decided that he wants to "experience" life as a woman. As a long, lean, gorgeous red-head woman who calls herself HARA. Throw in Sexy's three back-up dancers - Missy, Sissy and Lusty, all themselves redheads - and Zach's niece Carol and he is surrounded by redheads. To make matters worse, the Faux network has decided that their new reality TV show will be called "Let's Kill Zach!" and they keep sending assassins after him. Between protecting his client and himself and trying to make peace with his increasingly wrathful girlfriend, Electra Gevada, Zach can't seem to win for losing.

Zakour and Ganem are geniuses with the English language and playfully flex and pull at it as much as possible to create some truly awe-inspiring puns and word by-play. This is definitely a book for those who love pulp sci-fi, detective noir or just a fun, well-written novel.
Scifi detective but written like it's a 50s detective story
and it's really funny... I recommend the whole serie. Fantastic.
If you like pulp detective fiction from the 1940's or so and science fiction you may like this story (set in 2060). Otherwise you probably think it is too foolish to read. I like science fiction and pulp detective stories but I won't rave on this book.
Interesting series
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.
Again, at the suggestion of a co-worker, I picked these up to pass some time at work. I have enjoyed the ups and downs of these crazy characters, and look forward to the next installment. If you like pulp fiction, mysteries, humor, and science fiction, you will enjoy these three books.
