Brown, Eric - The Telemass Quartet

Retired cop Matt Hendricks is in pursuit across light years.
Ex-wife Maatje and her partner have kidnapped the daughter.
Dead daughter.
Hurtling from one system to another in search of a promised resurrection cure.
Since alien treatments might work on humans, right? Maybe? Hopefully?
Four novellas, each around eighty pages, read hard and fast.
For an ex-investigator, ole Matt is repeatedly outsmarted by Maartje.
Luckily, convenient help, and willing ladies, appear just when needed.
The first two novellas seemed fresher; maybe I appreciated the world building better in those.
Every story bolts to a conclusion, with the “The End” plug yanked abruptly.
Note: I have read little SciFi since the 70’s, but this was entertaining.
