They pissed off the wrong cybernetic, talking, magic, murder kitty. Now, betrayal runs deep, but revenge runs deeper.
Skritch isn’t your average cat. She just happens to look a bit like one. Armed with cybernetic limbs, nanites, and a razor-sharp wit, she’s a master thief navigating a dystopian world. When her mentor, Jammer, is murdered in a botched heist, Skritch’s life is torn apart.
Framed for a crime she didn’t commit, Skritch has only one choice—track down the real killer before the authorities close in around her and get her revenge by any means possible.
As she hunts for answers in the labyrinth of Zhakatal, a city overrun by corrupt corporations, crooked cops, and deadly bounty hunters, Skritch’s small size proves to be her greatest advantage. But uncovering the truth comes with a price—one paid in blood and betrayal.
With razor-sharp dialogue, intense action, and a touch of dark humor, Skritch's Revenge delivers a high-octane cyberpunk adventure where even the smallest hero can land a deadly blow."
"A curious thing happened when Larry Lizer woke up this morning.
When he opened his eyes, he did not recognize his surroundings.
Most people would have been put out by such a significant inconvenience, but it was not a feeling unfamiliar to Larry Lizer. In fact, he had been dealing with this particular interdimensional peculiarity for a long time.
However, it will take the intervention of the angel Quieriel to give Larry Lizer the context to describe this phenomenon, and the truth of his fateful predicament will rock Larry Lizer to his core, upending everything he thought he knew about the universe.
Join Larry Lizer and the angel Quieriel in this metaphysical exploration of the multiverse, wrestling with your own mortality, and the joy of finding significance in an insignificant life.
If you have ever felt irrelevant in the vastness of the universe or questioned whether life had any meaning, then Time is a Flat Circle was written just for you. "
