Description

Rogue AI, fine vegetarian dining, a murderous sock monkey, an evil fast food Corp—in 2043 Olivia Ermine will face them all! She survives The Great Warming safe within the Cascadian Federation. Yet, her blood holds the key to the VanDirks Corporation’s domination of the planet, and they will stop at nothing to get it. In a haze of thunderbud and fog, through time and tide, between the land and sea, the earth and smoldering stars, an ancient mystery seeks its revenge. A darkly comedic, genre-bending journey through solarpunk sci-fi and science fantasy awaits.

Things are great! The Great Warming proceeds apace—Florida is a soggy nub aslither in pythons. The Great Erasure’s come and gone, the black mirror shattered and the Great Autarchy’s Regime with it. The Murder2.0 networked smart-toaster surveillance state is kaput, as are financial markets, all digital records, and those pesky killer robots. Viva the Quantum Era! The Great Balkanization continues, the West Coast seceded, now a military and vertical farming empire powered by the sun. The border’s secure out to the old Highway 15 DMZ, where Cascadia ends and Montanastan begins; home to militias, mass crucifixions, denominational nut-jobbery, and the ravages of paleomegavirus.

Olivia's left her chaotic globetrotting life behind and returned to her ancestral family home in Redwood, a charming Cascadian university town, a safe oasis in a turbulent world. The Pynchon Academy comes with new friends, enemies, and lovers. Yet, the transition’s had a few quirks…disturbing dreams and now visions of a scruffy, saucer-eyed rogue AI with a penchant for levitation and force fields. To make matters worse, she’s stalked by a maniacal, straight razor wielding, dandified sock monkey. Meanwhile, a planetary fast-food mega-corp founded in the 1600s—in the slave trade—is after her famous uncle’s artistic legacy and just maybe her uncle too.

Can she beat the rising tide?

Advance Praise

The Redwood Revenger isn't a dreary dystopia. It's vibrantly colorful and lush. It doesn't talk down or bore with a simplistic political allegory, instead it addresses complex gray areas of good and evil, life and death, love and friendship, sex and rivalry with sly subtlety, satire and humor. The first book in a series, it sets up the world and the characters well, while satisfyingly unpacking the first part of a larger, much more sinister mystery. A deeply weird and funny adventure set in Cascadia, a future post-dystopia I'd actually want to live in. While the main characters are young adults, it's for actual adults who may have grown up on YA, but can handle the explicit sex, complexity and literary writing. —Fast'n'Bulbous
