About this ebook
It’s Men In Black meets CSI:Miami!
He’s a Florida cop. She’s an intergalactic zombie hunter. Saving Earth is the least of their problems...
Bahia Vista homicide detective Theo Petrakos thought he’d seen it all. Then a mummified corpse and a room full of futuristic hardware sends Guardian Force commander Jorie Mikkalah into his life. Before the night’s through, he’s become her unofficial partner—and official prisoner—in a race to save the Earth. And that’s only the start of his troubles.
Jorie’s mission is to stop a deadly infestation of bio-mechanical organisms from using Earth as a breeding ground. If she succeeds, she could save a world and win a captaincy. But she needs Theo's help, even if their unlikely partnership threatens to set off an intergalactic incident, and forces her to choose between a planet and a promotion—and a man who’s become far more important than she cares to admit...

Reviews for The Down Home Zombie Blues

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Florida homicide detective Theo Petrakos is used to the wild and weird, but when a mummified corpse turns up and a ray-shooting alien blows up his car... Well, lets just say he's had more normal Christmases. But not all aliens are tentacled freaks, and the one tapped to clean up the tentacles is a lot more appealing to the eye.Not a bad book, but definitely not in the class of Sinclair's non-Earth based space adventures. Okay, but nothing special, in spite of the intriguing title.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This book cleverly solves my problem with sci-fi tech lingo - the advanced technology comes to earth, and so all the poor earthlings need things explained in plain English. I loved Sinclair's little Star Trek jokes as well. The tone of this novel reminded me of Spider Robinson's Callahan series, only with romance instead of puns.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Bahia Vista homicide detective Theo Petrakos thought he had seen it all. Then he ended up in a battle with a woman with slightly dodgy English and a monster she refers to as a Zombie. Then he discovers that because of what he's seen he's going to have to be relocated and his life as he knows it is over.However she needs his help, they find themselves Zombie hunting without backup.It's pretty predictable and not one of my favourites of hers. The character interaction was great fun and the relationships was a stronger part of the story than the plot. Interesting but not a keeper.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Loved it! Laughed out loud several times. Loved that the hero POV was prominently featured, as often the heroine is the main protagonist. The ending was a bit abrupt, hence only 4 stars.
