They explore the noir side of the equation I've set forth here. All three star my amoral "fixer" character Detlev Gruber, who appears in a small role in Dr. Nice as an employee of Rosethrush's media conglomerate. These stories are "Some Like It Cold," "The Miracle of Ivar Avenue," and "It's All True," which I hope to present as an e-book in the near future. In an interview with Locus Kessel himself uses the term Moment Universes to describe the stories
