Tomorrow's Crimes (2013, Jerry eBooks)

Donald E. Westlake has been rightly acclaimed as the “master of the comic caper” (*New York Times*) for his witty and ingenious caper novels. His hard-boiled character Parker, created under the pseudonym Richard Stark, has been called “a brilliant invention” by the *New York Review of Books*. But the multi-talented Westlake also found success as an author of criminous science fiction. His best work in this field has been collected in *Tomorrow’s Crimes*.

The cornerstone of the collection is the 1967 novel *Anarchaos*. Start to say “anarchy” and midway switch and say “chaos” to utter the name of this planet colonized by humans, and revolving around a red sun the natives call *Hell*. Anarchaos is a planet where lawlessness is the only rule, where each man protects himself as best he can, and where the weak are soon dead. Rolf Malone’s brother had died already; Malone had come to Anarchaos to find his killer…knowing that he faced an entire planet of enemies.

*Anarchaos* and many more intriguing tales make up this volume of science fiction and fantasy—with crime thrown in to spice the plots—from an honored and award-winning author.
