Complete Trilogy
- Prospector Finch’s Harem Adventures
- Ilzed
- Star People
- Belleville
Down-on-his-luck prospector Webster Finch dreams of a simple life. But the universe has bigger plans for him. The belligerent Simmix, the hedonistic Alder, the greedy Nanken, and the world-creating Ilzed set their sights on Earth—and Finch is caught in the middle.
With fabulous women at his side, a Chinese imperial astronomer, an Ottoman mystic, a Prussian engineer, a Russian captain, a San Francisco socialite, a Japanese samurai, a fake crown princess, a Pinkerton detective, a French journalist, an Alder fembot, and Teshoni Warrior, and a Princess from India, an Alder Artificial Intelligence, a grand Nanken trader, a Simmix Marshall, and an Ilzed field researcher, Finch will need every ounce of charm, wit, and stamina to survive.
The Empress Dowager hears the gongs and the scuffling outside the left door. It bursts open, and four armed guards enter.
A dark figure drops from above. Shonali! Cixi watches as the Teshoni warrior snatches up a jade figurine and sends it flying toward a guard. An ink stone, a brush holder, a ceramic bowl, a candle holder, are thrown at the incoming men in quick succession, each hitting the intended target.
Then, in a whirl that evades the strike of a spear, Shonali picks up a bow and pulls three arrows from the fallen guard’s quiver. Three more guards are down.
Liam Ashford on Goodreads wrote:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ J. Tiffany Noore’s Prospector Finch trilogy is nothing short of a literary marvel—an intelligent, heartfelt, and genre-defying series that seamlessly weaves historical fiction, speculative science fiction, and emotionally resonant ensemble storytelling. Across Belleville, Star People, and Ilzed, we follow Webster Finch’s extraordinary transformation from a solitary gold prospector to a central figure in a complex interplanetary struggle, surrounded by women whose strength, agency, and individuality define the narrative just as much as his own evolution.
What sets this trilogy apart is its unwavering commitment to character and connection. Noore never reduces her characters to mere archetypes or romantic foils. Instead, she offers richly drawn individuals—Charlotte, Shonali, Tady-Lic, Gayatri, Eljamit, Sarah, and many more—each with a distinct voice and a deeply personal arc. Their relationships with Finch are built on trust, growth, and mutual respect, allowing the romantic elements to deepen rather than distract from the core themes. The emotional intelligence with which Noore handles these dynamics—particularly within a polyamorous framework—is refreshing, thoughtful, and genuinely moving. (...)
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It’s official: Prospector Finch is the greatest interstellar-historical-harem saga ever written! J. Tiffany Noore didn’t just stick the landing—she launched it into orbit, sent it through a wormhole, and dropped it like a love bomb on my sci-fi heart. Across Belleville, Star People, and Ilzed, we follow good ol’ Webster Finch from dusty Californian goldfields to multi-dimensional galactic showdowns, with the sexiest crew of companions this side of the cosmos.
The trilogy is an absolute masterclass in genre-mashing. Historical fiction? Check. Alien races with tangled motives and glowing body mods? Check. A harem of brilliant, beautiful women who aren’t just arm candy but legit warriors, scholars, fembots, and diplomats? OH YES. From Tady-Lic’s perfect chrome curves to Shonali’s archery of doom to Eljamit’s enemies-to-lovers journey (still can’t get over that uniform scene!), every woman is unforgettable, and Finch treats each one with care, respect, and a very generous helping of steam.
