Budayeen Nights by George Alec Effinger, Barbara Hambly

4.0

I already regretted that Effinger's death meant he couldn't finish the Audran series as intended, but the snippets of future, unfinished novels included in Budayeen Nights just made that regret keener. There's the first two chapters of a fourth novel, a short story set after the intended series where Audran is a washed-up detective whose tech has become obsolete, and the beginning of a book about Audran's lost brother. I really wish we'd gotten to see those completed. Effinger was an immense talent.
