Space For Hire
Meta Data

Summary:
Hang on to your hats for a roller-coaster ride around our solar system with one of fiction’s wildest characters, William F. Nolan’s futuristic private eye, Sam Space.  He works out of a seedy office on Mars, replete with a plug-in secretary, argues over his drinking with a grumpy hovercar, is hired by a body-switching eccentric and a three-headed female from Venus, battles a fire dragon, pops in and out of alternate universes, has his head on backwards (part of the time), is captured by mice, gets trapped by a witch in a candy forest, is reduced to a quavery old man and a squalling infant, beds a lush beauty with winking nipples, views his own corpse, chases a robot’s testicle, lays a freckled egg, and is fatally shot. Among other things. 

Reviews:

“An expert in the art and science of entertainment.”  -- Stephen King

“One of our best storytellers. Nolan is a hell of a writer!’  -- Peter Straub

“I envy Nolan’s successful productivity; also the incredible spectrum of his work: fantasy, science fiction, mystery, horror-suspense. . .  Nolan is a fine writer.” – Richard Matheson

“His fiction is wonderfully wild, fascinating, beautifully written.”  -- Rod Serling
“It is my conviction that in the century to come, Nolan will continue to surprise, divert and captivate his admiring readers.”  -- Robert Bloch
