Charles W. Lamb’s standalone novels show the range of his writing outside his main series. YoungBlood, published in 2020, is a dystopian detective story set in a future city-state — a departure from the space-faring adventure of his AL:ICE books.
The Ranch Hand, published in 2023, moves into entirely different territory. It is a contemporary western romance set on a Montana ranch, with no science fiction or fantasy elements. The two books have little in common with each other or with Lamb’s series work, but they show his willingness to write across genre lines.
