Tour guides and politicians up for reelection crow about how Tipton’s “majestic skyscrapers paint a living mosaic of light against the edges of space,” blissfully ignorant of the Under seeping through society’s cracks like fluorescent mold.Elves, dwarves, superheroes…everyone’s got secrets and what’s a little blackmail among associates? That’s just life. And while there isn’t enough cash in the universe to pay for knight-in-shining-armor suicide missions, there are lines. Tap dance across those—firebomb my apartment and kill my friends—and now it’s personal.Author's NoteMy book is detective noir crammed in a blender with sci-fi, fantasy and satire. I'd like to give you more so you can tell if it's your style, but I'm bad at knowing what my writing's like so I asked an AI to do it for me.Our new robotic overlords think these books are similar to mine:Child 44 by Tom Rob Smith. Seven Princes by John R. Fultz. Successor's Promise and Thief's Magic by Trudi Canavan. The Institute by Stephen King. less
