George Alec Effinger – Marîd Audran [1-3]

When Gravity Fails (1987)
(The first book in the Marid Audran series)

In the decadent world of the Arab ghetto, Marid Audran has kept his independence and identity the hard way, but now the two hundred year old godfather of crime in the Budayeen has made him an offer he can’t refuse.

A Fire in the Sun (1989)
(The second book in the Marid Audran series)

In this book, Marid works as a policeman in the Budayeen (a walled portion in an anonymous Islamic city, where pretty much anything goes) and making sure that his patron’s interests within the police are taken care of. At it’s heart, like the first book, it’s a mystery..but one with a colorful (to say the least) cast of characters. There is a focus on cybernetics, landing the book squarely in the cyberpunk sci-fi genre, but the electronic gizmos are not the focus of the story. The levels of sex and drug use, and to a slightly lesser extent the violence, in these books is astounding but I don’t feel it took anything away from the story.

The Exile Kiss (1991)
(The third book in the Marid Audran series)

Ingram The right hand man to one of the most feared men in the Arab world, Marid Audran is just beginning to enjoy the wealth and privilege of his position when he and his boss, the powerful Friedlander Bey, are accused of murder.
