The Crossover Case Files–Dieselpunk Adventures by Richard Levesque
Welcome to the world of Jed Strait, where jetpacks and airships are as common as dark streets, flying bullets, and femmes fatales. This Dieselpunk series is set in an alternate version of late 1940s Los Angeles where killers lurk in the shadows, where a wealthy...
Fedoras, Femmes Fatales, and Laser Cannons
The running man darts past a streetlight, casting a long shadow across the wet pavement. He glances back and then ducks into an alley, pressing himself into the darkness as he catches his breath and listens. He thinks he’s safe, but from the other end of the alley a...

I’ve mentioned Zero.Hero a few times and flashed a couple of covers, but I wanted to give it a little spotlight because it’s so much more than stat screens and DnD character transformations. This book has a rich, established world that developed just like Earth, then...
