Robert Hansen: 36 books

Although The Drunken Wizard’s Playmates loosely fits in with the world of the Angus the Mage series, it is a much different type of story, both in style and content. The events in it occur centuries earlier and have only an indirect relationship to the Angus series. In brief, it is a humorous light...

This collection of poetry contains about 500 poems that were written during 2015, many of which are short poems inspired by the poetry of David Malone and Adriana Dascalu, or the activities promoted by Karen O'Leary for her online poetry magazine, Whispers.... The poems range from the humorous to...

Why would aliens visit earth? I asked myself that question early in my writing career and rejected the more benign responses like “They want to be our friends!” or “They want to help us progress toward a new age of Enlightenment!” because, well, an advanced alien species encountering us would...

Wintering in Hellsbreath's Wizard's School has been good for Angus. He has mastered some new spells, come to accept his situation, and even made a friend. But spring is approaching and Hobart has planned a brief excursion for the Banner of the Wounded Hand, one that ends up being much longer than he anticipated....

The Banner of the Wounded Hand is in disarray. Giorge has succumbed to the curse and his body has disappeared. Angus and Typhus were carried away by Sardach and are missing. Hobart and Ortis are running low on supplies. Will they find Angus before they have to return to civilization? Or will they...

Angus is frustrated. King Tyr has confined him to Hellsbreath and he doesn’t know why. Embril went with the patrol to the Angst temple to safeguard The Tiger’s Eye, but she has failed—or worse, she has betrayed him. Either way, the nexus has been disturbed and Hellsbreath is in danger—and...

The last three books of the Angus the Mage Series: The Viper's Fangs, The Golden Key, and Angst. For more, read the first book in the series (The Tiger's Eye) and see the descriptions for books 2-4.

The Aftermath series is essentially Book 5 of my Angus the Mage series and assumes readers are familiar with the events and characters from that series. The first book in particular, Aftermath, is heavily reliant upon such knowledge and takes place between the last section of Angst (“An End of Things”)...

The stories in this collection are primarily mystery, science fiction, soft horror/dark fantasy, and cross-genre pieces. Most of the stories are down-to-earth ones set in today's world (particularly the mysteries), or begin that way and take a speculative turn into the possible. With the exception of one fantasy mystery, the rest of the stories are set in the near future or in space.

It is 2136, and Earth has survived an environmental catastrophe and is colonizing the solar system. Mars and Luna have growing populations. Ceres is a long-standing outpost. It is time to go further, and The Snodgrass is the ship that will make that possible. It has a new engine design, and its mission...

Most of the poems in this collection were written during 2016. As with the previous two years' collections, the subject matter is diverse with love, hate, murder, nature, social and political commentary, and many other topics being explored. However, this one has a stronger philosophical presence...

In this young adult space adventure, the earth has experienced a catastrophic environmental disaster that has left much of the world uninhabitable. Antarctica, Greenland, and Siberia are temperate climates, and the polar ice caps are no more. In response, humanity has begun to colonize the solar system,...

Exploitation and Other Stories is about 60% science fiction (SF) and 40% other genres (fantasy, mystery, and flash fiction). The title piece, "Exploitation," is a novella about space exploration, while most of the other SF stories involve alien encounters. The speculative flash fiction pieces serve...

When Detective Frank Primrose woke up this morning, he never expected to investigate the disappearance of cats. Police detectives simply don't do that sort of thing. But when it's the chief's niece's cat that's gone missing, what else can he do? Besides, it isn't just her cat that's gone missing;...
