The fate of the world is in the hands of one rather smelly cat and his unfortunate owner, as Zoey Ashe finds herself suddenly thrown into a world of nightmarish villains and bewildering superhuman powers, the likes of which she’s never even dreamed of. But for one team of well-dressed power players it’s just another day at the office in futuristic Tabula Ra$a.
Imagine a world where every aspect of your life is played out for the world to see on the most popular wearable technology feeds, where you could be watching the world’s newest supervillains showing off their latest weaponry for millions of followers at the mere blink of an eye. To Zoey Ashe, the world of an all-seeing social network couldn’t be more terrifying, and it’s certainly not helped when she finds herself becoming the latest target for Tabula Ra$a’s gangs of villains.
Zoey wasn’t expecting to spend her evening fleeing in terror from a superhuman villain who wants to munch on her bones for his blink feed, but she suddenly finds herself on the run and at the mercy of her estranged father’s team of suited power players, as she’s become the most wanted person in Tabula Ra$a, and all she wanted to do was save her rather stinky cat from the roof of her trailer.
Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits follows our unexpected hero on her journey to the richest and newest city in the world, Tabula Ra$a, as she goes on the run, facing off countless unknown superhuman powers from an ever growing list of enemies she’d never even heard of, in a world where fame and social media status are as glamorous as futuristic super powers and weapons.
With plenty of unexpected twists and turns along the way, you’ll almost be sure that you forgot to plug your blink feed in, as we face even more perils than Zoey Ashe could have dreamt of, and that’s just the holographic Christmas decorations. A sofa clutching read from beginning to end, and a great look at the constantly growing world of social networking.
