Venus Belt — L. Neil Smith
TWO UNIVERSES WEREN'T ENOUGH--THE FEDERALISTS WANTED THEM ALL!
More than 150,000 women had been kidnapped--they vanished without a trace. No ransom demands. That was in the crime-ridden, bureaucracy-stifled "main" world of 1999. In the freedom-loving alternate universe of the North American Confederacy, however, crime was not a problem. Would-be criminals didn't survive very long.
Suddenly, all hell broke loose across the Probability Broach that separated the two universes--kidnapping, murder, intrigue. Detective Win Bear's closest friend vanished...then Featherstone-Haugh, the urbane gorilla who headed the Confederacy...then Win's wife...then his assistant.
With mindless--but lethally effective--assassins on his trail, Bear had a dozen cases to solve-and a universe to save along the way!
