The Shootout Solution – Western

My first memories are of living in Texas. As most Americans know, Texas isn’t the South, it’s Texas. Texas’ regional identity is closely tied to the American narrative of the Western and the Cowboy. It’s the…

The Data Disruption by @MikeRUnderwood ★ ★ ★ 1/2 The Shootout Solution Prequel is a lotta cyberpunk fun.

The Data Disruption by Michael R. Underwood Series: Genrenauts, #0Kindle Edition, 68 pg.2017 Read: May 27, 2017 It’ll come to no surprise to any of my longer-term readers that I liked this — it’s pretty established that I’m a Genrenauts fan.

The Data Disruption launch

The new Genrenauts story is here! Cyberpunk is one of my very favorite genres. Movies like Ghost in the Shell and Blade Runner were formative for me growing up, as well as The Matrix. I played the hell out of Netrunner card game growing up, as well as Shadowrun and Cyberpunk 2020. In school, I got to take a SF/F class from a professor whose specialty is cyberpunk. I was a bit young to read…

The Failed Fellowship by @MikeRUnderwood ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A Fantastic Finale (and a little about Season 1 en toto)

The Failed Fellowship by Michael R. Underwood Series: Genrenauts, #5 & 6eARC, 181 pg.2016 Read: September 16 – 17, 2016 Her job was to fix the story, not right every little wrong in the entire world. But was that really enough? If you force someone to work with shoddy equipment and they get hurt every week, eventually, shouldn’t you fix the tool instead of sending them to the doctor? She’d spent…
