Synopsis

Avo was born to destroy New Vultun. Now, he’ll become its only hope for salvation.

Created as a mindless weapon for a doomed war, Avo was obsolete from birth. Too weak to survive in a world powered by chrome, fire, and the corpses of the long-dead gods. His life was destined to be brutal and short.

But taken in by his adoptive father, Avo is granted another chance. He is given a name, learns to defy his violent nature, and hones his skill as a Necrojack—the deadly art of hacking minds and ghosts.

When Avo suddenly awakens in the gutters of New Vultun with an immortal Soul burned into his being, he must unravel the mystery of his circumstances—all before a city of enforcers, chromers and golems hunt him down.

He must grow stronger. Only by grafting greater gods to his being can he avert certain destruction.

Yet, as he ascends to claim the mantle of divinity, a question lingers… what kind of god will he become?

The City that Would Eat the World

★ 4.53

John Bierce

Thea is a washed-up mimic exterminator who expected more out of life, not some hero from stories. Aven is an impulsive wandering adventurer whose personal goddess is constantly getting her into trouble. Neither of them have the slightest interest in getting involved in world-shaking historical events.
History doesn’t care what they want, unfortunately, and it’s fallen right into their laps in the shape of a godslaying weapon from a fallen civilization. Thrown together out of chance, Thea and Aven will have to learn to work together if they want to survive their pursuers.
Because if they fail, and the weapon falls into the wrong hands? The results won’t be pretty. No one’s going to be using it on some random street corner goddess, teakettle god, or any of the other countless teeming millions of divinities on Ishveos.
No, there’s one target that sits above all others.
Cambrias, Whose Watch Never Ends. Cambrias, whose power has given rise to Cambrias’ Wall, the greatest city in the known multiverse- a city that has already covered much of a continent, and is strip mining entire mountain ranges for space and building material. A city that threatens to spread across the entire surface of Ishveos.
And there’s no shortage of folks willing to kill Thea and Aven in order to stop the Wall, no matter the consequences.

Somewhither

★ 3.92

John C. Wright

SOMEWHITHER is the first part of A TALE OF THE UNWITHERING REALM, a new science fantasy series from the science fiction author John C. Wright. It is an adventure, it is a romance, and it is a coming of age story of a young man who is not a man, in a world that is only one among many. It is a tale of a greater and darker evil with longer reach than anything he could imagine, of despair without bounds, of pain beyond measure, and of the faith required to surmount all three. It is a story of inexorable destiny written in the stars and the stubborn courage that is required to defy it.

Ilya Muromets is a big, ugly, motherless boy who does not look like anyone else in his Oregon town. His father is often absent on Church
missionary work that strangely seems to involve silver bullets, sacred lances, and black helicopters. Ilya works as a janitor for Professor Achitophel Dreadful of the Cryptozoological Museum of Scientific Curiosities, and he has a hopeless crush on the Professor’s daughter, Penelope, who seems to think his name is Marmoset.

One night, when Professor Dreadful escapes from the asylum in which he is presently residing, he sends a warning to Ilya that not only is the professor’s Many Worlds theory correct, but those many worlds are dominated by an unthinkably powerful enemy determined to destroy anyone who opens the Moebius Ring between the worlds. And, as it happens, prior to his involuntary absence, the Professor left his transdimensional equipment in the basement of the Museum plugged-in and running….

So it is that Ilya, as he has long dreamed in secret, is called upon to save the mad scientist’s beautiful daughter. With his squirrel gun, his grandfather’s sword, and his father’s crucifix, Ilya races to save the girl, and, incidentally, the world.
