Jade Gods, by Patrick Freivald is the third book in the Adventures of Matt Rowley, former agent for the International Center for Augmented Phenomena (ICAP) and possibly our last chance for survival in the face of the coming cataclysm.

Misbegotten, Issue 3 continues the telling of the long cyber/biopunk post-apocalyptic tale of religious zealotry, by taking a detour into the nuances of each character and their specific motivations. While it’s not as explicitly violent or politically incorrect as the previous issues, it serves for an excellent change of pace.
Warren’s World, by D.A. Madigan is a raw science fiction novella about a person trapped in the ultimate reality-bending revenge fantasy. It’s pretty damn creepy.
