Sam Boone's Rational Choices [Book 1 of the Sam Boone Series]
by Bud Sparhawk
|
|
[Book 1 of the Sam Boone Series] Chronologically, this is the first tale in the Sam Boone series. Sam Boone was not above taking advantage of the first group of Galactics who arrived on Earth, but he was not prepared for the habits and perceptions of these aliens who thought Earth's three best attractions were, in no specific order, Disneyland, Hoboken, and Kawasaki's Sushi n Ribs. Nor was he prepared for dealing with his employer's strange children's obsessions. (Published: 1997)

Sam Boone and the Thermal Couple [Book 2 of the Sam Boone Series]
by Bud Sparhawk
|
|
[Book 2 of the Sam Boone Series] Communication is never perfect, but in Sam's case it was nearly impossible, especially when he had to deal with races so far apart physically that they didn't even have the same frames of reference. Adding to his difficulties was his agent's unreasonable deadline, the threat of the Hegemony Court applying their draconian justice, and having to ride herd on dozens of disparate races, none of whom spoke the same language. But can Sam find a solution, will he be str... more info>> (Published: 1995)

Sam Boone's Appeal to Common Scents [Book 3 of the Sam Boone Series]
by Bud Sparhawk
|
|
[Book 3 of the Sam Boone Series] Negotiating among the Galactic races was usually bad enough, but trying to deal with olfactory races, whose most minor discussion resembled a nasal cocktail of open sewage, flowers, and overipe armpits, taxed even Sam's normally tolerant nature. The principles of diplomacy may be in some sense universal, but in practice... (Published: 1996)

Sam Boone's Dry Run [Book 4 of the Sam Boone Series]
by Bud Sparhawk
|
|
[Book 4 of the Sam Boone Series] The voyage on the first class Glimmora freighter was bad enough, but even that near disaster did not prepare Sam for the challenges facing him on Bingnagia. All he had to do was simultaneously figure out how to keep himself from being stomped by the overly-friendly giant aliens, prevent an interplanetary war, avert legal disaster from the Galactic Courts, and solve a murder mystery, for which he was the prime suspect.

Sam Boone's Teacup Conundrum [Book 5 of the Sam Boone Series]
by Bud Sparhawk
|
|
[Book 5 of the Sam Boone Series] All Sam had to do was escort a few dozen aliens--or was it two?--to a famous theme park in Orlando. A simple enough task were it not for a malfunctioning ride, the hissed-off Kittchikoostrans' quick tempers, arms enough to fight two and a quarter world wars, and a super-animated robotic duck.

Sam Boone's Super Fantastic Intragalactic, Ass-Kicking, Body-Slammin', Foot-Stomping, Rasslin' Extravaganza [Book 6 of the Sam Boone Series]
by Bud Sparhawk
|
|
[Also available in the May 2002 issue of Analog] Trying to keep two murderous races apart was no easy challenge, that is, if it weren't for the mafia, the State Department, his boss, a promoter with dreams of glory, thousands of wild-eyed fans, and the Whole World Rasslin' Association, all of whom seemed determined to thwart every one of Sam's efforts. But then it was time for the match to begin and Sam couldn't escape. (Published: 2002)
