Griffin Barber spent his youth in four different countries, learning three languages while holding down jobs in marinas, bars, cafes, and, memorably, cold-calling casino guests. Finally settled in Northern California with a day job as a police officer in a major metropolitan department, he lives the good life with his wife and daughter. 1636: Mission to the Mughals, coauthored with Eric Flint, was his first novel; he has also written numerous short stories. Second Chance Angel is what he hopes to be the first of many collaborations with Kacey Ezell. Kacey Ezell is the author of the Four Horseman Tales and the Revelations Cycle.
In Second Chance Angel, a pair of badly damaged combat veterans team up to find the kidnapped woman who is crucial to both of them. One vet was an enlisted grunt. The other was an officer's artificial intelligence. Vivid action and intelligent backgrounds as the team unravels a criminal conspiracy that goes well above their pay grades. -- Dave Drake, author of Hammer's Slammers Space opera, sentient AIs, and a mystery to solve. What more can you ask for? -- S. K. Dunstall, author of Linesman A war veteran and a disembodied artificial intelligence form a partnership to solve a string of horrible crimes. The human/AI detective theme hasn't been done this well since Isaac Asimov's Lije Baley and R. Daneel Olivaw novels, The Caves of Steel, The Naked Sun, and The Robots of Dawn--with the advantage that the AI science in Second Chance Angel is that of the modern era, not Asimov's time. -- Eric Flint, author of 1632 With this fun, noir-tinged thriller, the first in the Last Stop Station series, Barber and Ezell weave together intrigue, action, and romance, all with a hard-boiled sensibility...The authors expertly contrast claustrophobic interiors and the vastness of space, creating a world that feels both alien and lived-in. Readers will be hooked. -- Publishers Weekly
