Business Secrets from the Stars
A cowardly simian in the White House, dopey ex-presidents, scary televangelists, assassinations, cute little monkeys, sinister old men with long, sharp teeth, and in the middle of it all, Malcolm Erskine, who thought he had such a clever idea and who also thought he could safely ignore the politics of Bush-era America. "A broad and bitter political satire. I was laughing out loud." - Denver Post
Budspy
Decades after defeating the Allies in World War Two, Nazi Germany rules Europe and dominates the world. But there’s rot at the core of the Reich, and an American agent is assigned to help the Germans root it out. “. . . a well-told tale of crime and conscience . . .” — Indianapolis News “Budspy is smart, fast, and mean.” — Kirkus “Budspy is superior to just about everything short of The Man in the High Castle itself.” — Norman Spinrad, Asimov’s SF “Involving....Dvorkin has a vivid imagination, and he imbues his new world with a chilling Teutonic authoritarianism.” — Booklist “Engaging.” — Publisher’s Weekly

When We Landed on the Moon: A Memoir
In September 1967, I started working at NASA in Houston, at what was then called the Manned Spacecraft Center. I worked on Apollo missions. In November 1971, I left NASA and moved to Denver to work on the Viking Mars lander project at Martin Marietta Corporation. By the time I left NASA, Apollo was winding down. Manned spaceflight beyond Earth orbit was dying. There would be no lunar bases or missions to Mars. In a mere four years, the future had died. Fifty years later, I still can’t shake the sadness. Of course the “We” in the title of this book is not literal. Only the handful of men who have actually been on the moon can talk about “when we landed on the moon” and mean it literally. I’m using “we” in a general sense, to refer to all of the 400,000 people who worked on the Apollo Project, to all of America, and to the entire human race. As the plaque on the side of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module descent stage, which still stands on the moon’s Sea of Tranquility, proclaims: “Here men from the planet Earth first set foot upon the Moon, July 1969 A.D. We came in peace for all mankind." This is the story of my part in Apollo.
Time for Sherlock Holmes
This time Holmes is pitted against a time-traveling Moriarty, who has stolen H. G. Wells time machine. It's an homage to Wells and Doyle that hits the mark on both counts.
Central Heat
When aliens remove the sun, life survives in military bunkers under the earth and in lunar bases. Underground America devolves into a religious-military dictatorship. Jonathan Holroyd escapes to the surface and finds a new world warmed by an artificial sun, and only slightly more freedom than in the dying world he left behind. He rises to a position of power. But now the aliens are coming back.
Timetrap
In a remote area of Federation space, the Enerprise picks up an urgent distress signal -- from a Klingon vessel! Tracing the S.O.S., the crew finds the Klingon cruiser Mauler, trapped in a dimensional storm of unprecedented power. Yet paradoxically, the ship refuses both the Enterprise's call and the offers of help. Determined to discover what the Klingons are doing in Federation space, Kirk beams aboard their ship with a security team, just as the storm flares to its highest intensity. As the bridge crew watches in horror, Mauler vanishes from the Enterprise's viewscreen... And James T. Kirk awakens...one hundred years in the future.

The Arm and Flanagan
When Jimmy Flanagan returns from war with one arm missing, he’s one of the lucky ones. First, because he returned alive. Second, because an experimental program allows him to be fitted with a super–advanced, high–tech artificial arm. Now he’s free of the Army, he has a new arm that’s better than the one he lost on the battlefield, and his girl has been waiting for him. He should be a happy man....
The Surprising Benefits of Being Unemployed
It's all here: My 2003 satirical essay on unemployment which got hundreds of responses, details of my 40-year work history, why it's not your fault if you're laid off, some unconventional advice on résumé writing, and lots of encouragement for anyone who is currently job hunting.
