Red/shift, a new SF/F novelette written by Geoffrey Thorne

The novelette Red/shift (2009), a "wholly original science fiction-fantasy-action-thriller set on a well colonized planet Mars" written by American novelist and screenwriter Geoffrey Thorne, was recently published by the Winterman Project as an ebook for Amazon's Kindle. A finalist work considered for Writers of the Future #22 (2006), here's the official pitch for Red/shift:

A dashing killer trying to outrun his past... A world-weary cop determined to close her most baffling case... A dying heiress desperate to find a cure for her disease... When these stories collide on the same Martian night the results are not only explosive but deadly.

Geoffrey Thorne is the author of Star Trek: Titan: Sword of Damocles (2007). He maintains the blog Pocket Full of Mumbles and resides in Los Angeles. Thorne's favorite authors include Octavia Butler, Alexandre Dumas, Clive Barker, Stephen King, Roger Zelazny, Ursula K. LeGuin, Greg Bear and John Steinbeck.
