Synopsis

Max, an ironic and fearless detective, travels through parallel worlds. In the first novella he works with colleagues from the Secret Investigation Service on a strange incident that unsettles the people of Echo, relying on his Deadly Ball, his Death Cloak and a healthy dose of Earth-style humour. In the second novella he and a friend set out on a dangerous journey to the World of Glints, where they have to use courage and quick thinking to get out of a ghost town.

Publication order and internal chronology are tracked as two separate orderings and are never conflated: a book's place in one says nothing about its place in the other.
