NINE TENTHS
Jim Butcher's Dresden Files meets V.E. Schwab's Vicious in this intoxicating blend of noir and super hero urban fantasy. A wicked sense of humor, a tight-knit cast of characters, and a fearless leader who makes bad decisions for all the right reasons lighten the grittier themes in this debut novel.
In a world full of Augmentshumans who use technology to imbue themselves with superpowers of every sortbeing an average man would seem a good way to keep out of trouble. That's not the case for Gayle Hardwood, whose job is to seize enhancements from Augments who fall behind on the payments for their high-tech advantages. The problem is the Augments rarely part with their technology easily.
Now, an infamous job Gayle was a part of long ago has come back to haunt him. An incredibly powerful piece of technology that was supposed to have been turned over to the government is being used again. People are dying, and those in power are convinced Gayle knows something about it.
Unfortunately, they're right. Unless Gayle can uncover the sinister secrets of the past, find whoever has hijacked the lost technology and stop them, no superpower in the world is going to be enough to save him.
Jeff Macfee's short stories have appeared in Needle: A Magazine of Noir, Shotgun Honey, and the anthology Killing Malmon.
