Hello readers! I hope your summer is going well and you have been able to squeeze in some time to read. Today, I wanted to share a book that I read waaaaay back in 2017 in a beta swap. The author of this book, Alex, and I read each other’s stories and provided feedback, and Cursed Dragon Ship Publishing has published Alex’s book! I’m so happy to see this book hit the shelves and I wanted to show my support for my beta reading buddy with a book boost.
*Not a paid promotion, just me helping out a friend!
(If you are curious which book he read of mine – he provided feedback on one of the very first drafts of Mythical Investigations)
Book Title: End Man
Author: Alex Austin
Genres: Metaphysical science fiction, technothrillers, cyberpunk science fiction
Description: Once your life is diluted to ones and zeroes on the End Man’s desk, it’s over. Or is it?
Afflicted with dromophobia, the fear of crossing streets, 26-year-old Raphael Lennon must live out his life within the four thoroughfares that border his Los Angeles neighborhood. Luckily, he found a fulfilling job within his space as an End Man at Norval Portals where Raphael is the best possum hunter in the company. He hunts the dead who live, people hiding under the guise of death. He doesn’t want to bring these “possums” to justice but to keep them out of his firm’s necrology database so their presence doesn’t crash the whole system.
When the company founder assigns Raphael a fresh case, he sets aside all other work to investigate Jason Klaes, a maverick physicist with boundary-pushing theories that may have attracted unwanted and sinister attention. Raphael soon discovers messages sent by Klaes after his supposed death—threats to people who have subsequently died. As he digs deeper, he receives his own message from Klaes, a baffling command to pursue the truth.
As he unravels the mystery, he unearths the secrets of his own phobia-plagued life and the inner workings of Norval, whose corporate ambitions include a nightmarish spin-off of its product. Raphael must stop them or he’ll never be free and neither will anyone else.
