Science Fiction Culture
( In a century that has taken us from the horse and buggy...)
In a century that has taken us from the horse and buggy to the world wide web, science fiction has established itself as the literature to explore the ways in which technology transforms society while its counterpart, genre fantasy, insistently reminds us of the magical transformations of the individual in response to the demands of the social. So it should come as no surprise that the fans and producers of these genres come together to create the culture of the future around the ideal that tales of wonder about the future and the imaginary past can be shared as both symbolic communication and social capital. In Science Fiction Culture, Camille Bacon-Smith explores the science fiction community and its relationships with the industries that sustain it, including the publishing, computer, and hotel/convention industries, and explores the issue of power in those relationships: Who seems to have it? Who does have it? How do they use it? What are the results of that use? In the process, Bacon-Smith rejects the two major theoretical perspectives on mass culture reception. Consumers are not passive receivers of popular culture produced by the hegemonic ideology machine that is the mass media industry, nor are they rebels valiantly resisting that machine by reading against the grain of the interpretation designed into the products they consume. Bacon-Smith argues that the relationship between consumers of science fiction and producers is much more complex than either of these theories suggests. Using a wide range of theoretical perspectives, she shows that this relationship is based on a series of continuing negotiations across a broad spectrum of cultural interests.

Eyes of the Empress
(Bradley, Ryan, and Davis, Private Investigaors was the mo...)
Bradley, Ryan, and Davis, Private Investigaors was the most unique detective agency in Philadelphia, because Kevin Bradley and his partners, Evan and Lily, were not the mere mortals they appeared to be. Brad and Lily were powerful demons, and Evan was Brad's half-demon/half-mortal son. Solving earthly crimes ought to have been a cinch for them. But when someone began stealing the crystal balls which had belonged to the centuries-dead Dowager Empress of China, Brad, and Evan found themselves hard-pressed to track the criminal down. For the thief was a dangerous--perhaps unstoppable-- adversary...even for those with powers beyond anything known in the mortal realms!

Daemon Eyes
(Kevin Bradley and his partners are uniquely qualified to ...)
Kevin Bradley and his partners are uniquely qualified to handle cases involving the occult —he and Evan Davis are far more than the mere mortals they appear to be. Kevin is a powerful daemon lord, and Evan is his half-daemon, half-human son. Solving mortal crimes should be a cinch for them. But somehow, they never get the easy, open-and-shut cases.
