Exit Vector, Underland's Third Wovel
Monday, June 1, 2009

After much anticipation, we're ready to announce: 

A WOVEL FROM UNDERLAND PRESS
BY SIMON DRAX
START DATE: JUNE 22, 2009

Mori Kim Marr’s personal force-field of drugs and drink has worn thin: she’s a burned-out teenager in a burned-out world, an Earth wracked by wars and rumors of wars, plagues and disasters, the hopelessness of every human heart. Mori couldn’t care less; just bring her the next fix, please. But when an artificial woman from the 19th century and a boy with psionic powers wander into the smoke and squalor of Mori’s favorite watering hole, gore-drenched violence and city-wide destruction erupts, catapulting Mori and her new-found “friends” into the thick of a battle that began long ago, a war that has raged since before the dawn of civilization, a blood-feud fought and overseen by the sole-survivor of an ancient, pre-human race: Trista Ska Shearn, last of the Cantarans. Trista has been waiting 65,000 thousand years for this, the final battle; she has waited millennia for the glum, sallow teenager, Mori Kim Marr. For Mori is . . . the Exit Vector.

Chaos is coming! Check out 100 % fantabulicious interview with the authors on Omnivoracious here.

We're running a give-away to promote Chaos. Here's the details:

 Are You An Agent of Chaos?

Have you ever struck a blow for anarchy? Done something surreal just  because it felt good and they couldn't stop you? Crossed the border just to say you had? Stuck your gum somewhere you shouldn't've? Been chased across countries while trying to remember who you are? Okay, so that last one is the novel "Chaos" by the hot Dutch writing couple Escober, but you get the point. Tell us about the biggest thing you ever done to spread "chaos" and we'll enter you in a drawing for a one-of-a-kind gift pack featuring our new book "Chaos", plus:

A military issue map bag containing:
(1) compass with sighting mirror
(1) copy of the U.S. Army's Guerilla Warfare and Special Forces Ops field guide
(1) beret
(1) grenade (deactivated - you think we're crazy?)
(1) pair of leather bootlaces
(1) camouflage T-shirt, suitable for disappearing without a trace
