George Alec Effinger, late husband of author Barbara Hambly, wrote a wonderful scifi series centered on a scruffy-looking scoundrel of a detective called Marid Audran set in the fictional city of Budayeen. The first book is called When Gravity Fails, and the second A Fire Under the Sun, both of which I've read and enjoyed. The 3rd book is called Exile Kiss.
He also wrote a prize winning short story called Schrodinger's Kitten.
Anyway, he made a jump to the computer world when a computer game was made set in his Budayeen with Marid. The game is called Circuit's Edge and it was this game that brought him to my attention. I still have this game (it's very old).
Anyone else heard of him and enjoyed his works?
