Stephen K. Stanford

It was meant to be an in and out mission… In the distant future, special agents Col Perolo and Danee Hasum are sent to retrieve a corpse from the lawless artificial world of Jubilee - where their mission goes perilously pear-shaped. They might be falling in love, or they might even be saving the galaxy. Either way, the authorities will not be pleased. Publishers Weekly: "An amusing and fast-paced saga sure to please fans of classic space opera." Considering Stories: “As entertaining a look at human foibles as any crime novel written by Elmore Leonard. Stanford’s writing is infectious, readable stuff. Ideas and action flow nicely, the characters pop, the situations veer from light to dark and back again with ease, and the book balances beach read readability, grit, and satiric punch." A Reviewer Darkly: "Jubilee is a breath of fresh air in a genre that seems too often stuck in a pattern of dense stories that tend to take themselves too seriously.”
