Bow-Legged Buccaneers from Outer Space by David Owain Hughes

From David Owain Hughes, author of South by Southwest Wales, comes the action-packed sci-fi horror novella Bow-Legged Buccaneers from Outer Space!

The year is 2082—the not-so-distant future—and Chinatown is a prison. One hundred years ago, between 1980 and 1990, hardcore arcade gamers, cinemagoers, TV freaks and comic book nerds took over the large oriental area and turned it into a no-go zone. The streets became violent, corrupt and the powers that be lost control. A large wall and river were constructed around the city; the waters were filled with sharks and patrolled by the government’s secret police, who had more artillery than Rambo. 

Paul ‘Frank Castle’ Hoskins is one of the good guys, doing his best to keep the streets clean and the innocent people safe. When Chinatown comes under attack from space pirates, will Frank have finally met his match? Will he be able to protect the woman he loves and save his beloved home? Bullets will fly, blood will be spilt, and vengeance will be sought.

Includes the bonus short stories Sticky Buttons and The Last Freakshow on Earth!

South by Southwest Wales by David Owain Hughes

Samson Valentine is the best private eye ever to wear a fedora–or at least he was, before he became a washed-up booze hound. There simply isn’t a demand for a whiskey-swilling Welsh gumshoe who insists he’s living in 1940s Chicago, but everything changes when a huge diamond falls into his lap. Before he’s knows what’s going on, Samson find himself swept up in the biggest case of his life. The mob will do anything to get its gemstone back, and they prove it when Sam’s friend turns up dead. Now it’s personal, and Sam sets out on a one-man mission to take down the Welsh crime syndicate. Armed with little more than his wits and his fists, the odds don’t look good. Too much time at the bottom of a whiskey bottle has given him trembling hands and an addled brain. If he’s to have any chance of bringing the mob to justice, he’ll first need to come to grips with his worst enemy–himself.

Any Which Way but South Wales by David Owain Hughes

Samson Valentine is back walking the mean streets of Cardiff, only this time he’s clean. Kicking the booze and getting into shape has meant Valentine is ready to face what comes his way and now he’s about to be dragged back into the murky world of thugs and gangsters once again. Only this time, with the presence of a brutal serial killer thrown into the mix, the odds are stacked against the fedora-wearing private eye. When it seems the whole of Cardiff’s underbelly wants him dead, and those closest to him are hard to trust, will Valentine’s new lifestyle be enough to keep him alive?
Any Which Way but South Wales is the thrilling sequel to South by Southwest Wales, Book Two in the hard-boiled detective series.
