It's hard to enjoy Xmas when even the Santa Claus Gang's out to get you.
When the Prussian Death Squad Robot commandos (with Live Action Grappling Hooks!) disappear en masse on Xmas Eve, the crime bears all the hallmarks of the nefarious Santa Claus Gang.
Can Marlowe and Nina crack the case? With only a few hours to locate the missing commandos, they find themselves yet again delving into the seedy, dumpster-filled underbelly of the City’s criminal underworld. But delve they must! For failure to stop the Santa Claus Gang doesn't just mean non-payment from the client.
It means death.
And not the pleasant, temporary kind.
In this heartwarming Xmas tale, 'tis the season for Marlowe and Nina to stop the holiday-themed criminal organization known as the Santa Claus Gang from giving away the Most Wanted Toy of the Year. Otherwise, the poor conglomerate that manufactures the Prussian Death Squad Robot Commandos (with Live Action Grappling Hooks!) faces financial ruin as well as civil fines that represent a miniscule fraction of their annual profits.
The Santa Claus Gang is a short story set after the action of Marlowe and the Spacewoman, but before the nail-biting excitement of Balloons of the Apocalypse. And now, for a limited time, it’s available in English!
(Esperanto edition planned for 2020, if the ban on that language is repealed by then.)
