Just a doodle of Daedalus, from Episode 1 of The List.  I seriously misspelled his name “Deadalus” about 20 times in that episode.  Now that I think about it, spelling it Deadalus would have been pretty cool.

Made using Paint.Net (it’s ms paint with roid rage).

The Eternal Prison is the third book in the Avery Cates series by Jeff Somers, in which we follow Avery Cates, a gunner, as he goes to jail, escapes jail, goes back to jail, escapes jail…and I think goes back to jail again – each time leaving a trail of bodies behind.

The story takes place after The Eternal Church and The Digital Plague, which if you haven’t bought yet you should do yourself a favor and go to the bookstore, smash the window in with a brick, grab these books, and run before the cops get there.  Or, you know, just go buy them from amazon.

In this novel we get to see Avery take on Russians, cops with robot bodies, and towards the end we get some love from the Spooks (pushers and telekinetics). There are some unique twists and turns throughout this novel, which I’ll let you have the joy of figuring out.  The one thing I can’t figure out is how each book in this series somehow manages to be more awesome than the last, and I’m definitely looking forward to getting The Terminal State and the currently untitled 5th book in this series.

Jeff Somer’s writing, while sometimes a little too heavily reliant on the f-bomb for edginess, is an avatar full of wit covered with a layer of blood, grease, and dirt and rammed into a brick wall at 200 mph.  Trust me, that’s a good thing.

Verdict: Awesome

Hey, it’s a bonus chapter for this month!  Why?  Because I love you, that’s why!

Read episode 2 online now! And don’t forget to tell everyone how super awesome it is!

Part of what I want to use this site for is to post some of the fiction I write.  The List is an episodic story about a man who assassinates super heros in a futuristic dystopian metropolis, and I plan on releasing an episode at least once a month.  Fans of action, science fiction, and awesomeness – check it out and let me know what you think:

When in doubt, make a list.  That’s exactly what Levi Cole did, and on his list was the names of the people he planned to destroy.  In his line of business – super hero assassination – it paid to stay organized.

Yeah, I know, it’s been a long time coming – but here the blog is, ready for mass media consumption on the trip-dubs (that’s geek code for www, or World Wide Web.  Get it?).

Anyway, I’ve got plans* for this space now.  Big plans.  SUPER big plans.  So subscribe via rss or email and have fun checking out the rest of the site.  Peace!
