Echo-A Dystopian Science Fiction Novel

Aย gang of literature elitists haveย got me cuffed and on my knees. ย The leader says,”We know about your disgusting love of Voltron, caped crusaders, and dick jokes. ย It’s time to put an end to your childish fantasies and make literature what it was supposed to be: ย Book circles that speak in NPR voices. ย No laughter; nods with intent stares is as far as it goes.” ย In a quavering voice I ask, “What about pizza? ย What about starfighters?” ย The leader chucklesย evilly. ย “No pizza. ย Early gray and finger sandwiches only. ย And starfighters? ย Please. ย Those will be replaced with Victorian era dramas.” ย I grit my teeth. ย Hell. ย NO. ย Open my eReader to Echo. ย Magic flash. ย A horde of zombies falls upon the literature elitists, and horrified screams erupt from them as their brains and organs are torn out and devoured. ย I’m preparing to meet the same fate when I feel rotted fingers key my cuffs open. ย I rub my wrists and stand up, turning and staring intoย a half-decayed face. ย The zombie puts his hand on my shoulder and says, “Pizza. ย Starfighters. ย Must. ย Save.” ย I run out, briefly feeling pity for the dying literature snobs, but it passes quickly. ย I mean, come on, pizza and starfighters, right? ย ๐Ÿ˜‰

Stories aren’t about high tea and essay-fodder, they’re about screaming for joy as the enemy gets his motha duckin’ due! ย (preferably via laser blast, enchanted sword, or some kinda intricate, Batman-worthy deception) ย Getย Echo Vol. 1 on Kindleย here: ย Vol. 1 on Kindle. ย Vol. 2 on Kindle here: ย Vol.2 on Kindle. Links for Vol.2 on Smashwords/Nook/iBooks/Kobo are available here: ย Echo on other platforms
