For the first time, get all three Harriet Walsh novels in one volume! All the Harriet Walsh novels are set in the distant future, where the galaxy has been colonised and human-like robots are commonplace. They're good clean fun, written with wry humor. PEACE FORCE Would you work for a deranged robot? Harriet Walsh does! Harriet's weapon won't fire without the right paperwork, the patrol car is driving her up the wall, and her crime-fighting computer doesn't even have solitaire. Welcome to the Peace Force! ALPHA MINOR The Peace Force has a new recruit, and she's driving everyone crazy. From disobeying orders to handling unauthorised cases, nothing is off-limits. Worse, Harriet Walsh is forced to team up with the newbie, because the recruit's shady past has just caught up with her. Meanwhile, a dignitary wants to complain about rogue officers working out of the station. She insists on meeting the station's commanding officer ... and they don't have one. All up, it's another typical day in the Peace Force! SIERRA BRAVO Planet Dismolle is supposed to be a peaceful haven. So what's with all the gunfire? A criminal gang has moved into Chirless, Dismolle's second major city. Elderly residents are fed up with the loud music, noisy cars and late night parties, not to mention hold-ups, muggings and the occasional gunfight. Chirless has no Peace Force, so Harriet Walsh of the Dismolle City branch has to help out. That puts her up against a gang of hardened criminals with only her training pistol and a few old allies to lend a hand. And these allies aren't just old, they're positively ancient!

Three full-length novels in one volume! "An insane, inspired blend of high fantasy and low humour" Here's what you get! A Portion of Dragon and Chips A mild-mannered old robot has just been transported to a medieval kingdom, and things are quickly going from bad to worse. A homicidal knight is after his blood... or the robot equivalent. A greedy queen wants to bend him to her will. A conniving Master of Spies is hatching his own devious plan for the mechanical marvel. And worst of all, there's nowhere to get a recharge. A Butt of Heads Remember that mild-mannered robot trapped in a medieval kingdom? He's still there, and he has a load of new problems to deal with. First, he must lead a motley crew of adventurers on a quest to capture a baby dragon... ... and save them from the incensed parent dragons. Next, the City Guard is hunting him down, determined to drag him back to their master, a man desperate to find out what makes the robot tick... even if it means disassembly with a blunt axe. And, to cap it all off, two foreign nations are planning an invasion, five kingdoms are on the brink of war, and gigantic sea serpents, vengeful dragons and a drunken cadre of dwarves are determined to make life difficult for everyone. A Pair of Nuts on the Throne It's crunch time for the medieval kingdom! Our mild-mannered hero, the junky old robot, has a new ally. He's sure they've met before, but he can't quite put his finger on it. Actually, he can't quite put his finger on anything. Heads of state are dropping like flies, thanks to a series of improbable accidents, and war clouds are rolling in. The elves are building siege engines, human kingdoms are raising their armies, and the dwarves are nursing hangovers. Enjoy the laughs, chaos and misadventures in the third and final part of the Dragon and Chips trilogy.
