No Small Bills

Aaron Rosenberg
DuckBob Spinowitz has a problem. It isn't the fact that he has the head of a duck-the abduction was years ago and he's learned to live with it. But now those same aliens are back, and they claim they need his help! Apparently creatures from another reality are invading the universe, and only DuckBob can reset the device that maintains the barrier between dimensions. He reluctantly agrees to help, but how can a man whose only talents are bird calls and bad jokes, and whose only work experience is punching random buttons on a computer in a standard cubicle, be expected to save the universe? No Small Bills is the hilarious new science fiction novel from award-winning, bestselling author Aaron Rosenberg, who has written books for Eureka, Star Trek, WarCraft, and many others, and is also the author of the rousing Dread Remora space-opera series for Crossroad Press.

Three Small Coinkydinks

Aaron Rosenberg
Bob Spinowitz was an average guy--until aliens abducted him and gave him the head of a duck. Then they asked "DuckBob" to save the universe, since their modifications meant he could. Talk about a backhanded compliment! Amazingly, though, DuckBob did it. And thus became Guardian of the Matrix, which protects the cosmos from further invasion--as long as he's plugged in. Literally.But alien techie pal Ned just made the Matrix User Interface wireless. Suddenly, DuckBob is free again--the whole universe is at his alien-altered, webbed feet! Only problem is, could being unplugged mean he's out of a job?As a pick-me-up, Ned takes DuckBob to his homeworld--which looks just like Brooklyn. Odd changes are afoot, there, however--ones with potentially cosmic repercussions. Soon DuckBob finds himself struggling to stay alive. And to find lunch, which is equally important.Can DuckBob conquer his doubt, rein in his freedom, and help save Ned's world? Or will our avian-esque hero's first unrestricted flight be the last--not just for him but for us all?
