Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Customer Buttcheeks opens the first multi-part sports saga in the Our Amplified Earth serial. Act I: Week 1 follows three characters moving through the same football season from radically different positions: the stands, the huddle, and the throne-like authority of the sideline. For Niko Sanzenbacher, football is loyalty without reward. He follows the Assam Creeping Death, a beautifully designed catastrophe whose losses have become part of his identity. Niko's search for hidden truths leads him through a green door and into Customer Buttcheeks, an international order that disguises power as retail service. Inside are levels, promotions, executive sessions, coded language, terrifying discipline, and the promise that the Customer is always right. For Saxby Lawless, football is the only life he knows. A five-time MVP and two-time Cup champion, he enters his twenty-fifth season beneath hostile local coverage and the memory of a spectacular championship collapse. He announces his retirement, promises one last title, and secretly consumes Swann's Dodder, a parasitic plant capable of strengthening its host or becoming part of him. For King Clancy Chesterfield, football is a ladder. The veteran coach of the Los Angeles Firm has seven Council Cups and an undefeated season within reach. But Clancy's real ambition lies inside Customer Buttcheeks. He has found evidence of a rank above King, the Customer Imperator, and believes an unprecedented eighth championship will complete the task required to claim it. PolyMatic Football supplies the spectacle: twenty-four teams, twelve players per side, men, women, robots and simulacra, shifting point values, returnable kicks, eligible linemen, lavish celebrations, and power-up chits capable of removing players, banning entire play types, multiplying footballs, or planting a mature redwood on the field. Beneath the spectacle is a story about fandom, aging, hierarchy, appetite, and the dangerous belief that one more victory will finally be enough. Act I ends by widening the world and accelerating toward Rivalry Week.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Marco Zavala needed money. He made an oath to a witch on the bus. Then a 750-lb luchador bit off part of his skull. He should have died. He didn't. He can't. Episode 1 of Our Amplified Earth. In 2115, the masked men of La Liga Grandiosa aren't just wrestlers - they're the muscle of Xavier El Burro's empire. Marco Zavala should never have stepped in the ring. But a blood oath sworn to a wandering telepath and a devastating debut match leave him neither dead nor alive - just different. Now the man with the burro has plans for him. And El Super Pobre has nothing left to lose. Lucha libre. Nanobots. Zombie science. The Serial begins. Patrick Francis Waters opens his globe-trotting sci-fi serial in Mexico City's Los Volcanes district, where an ornate lucha libre economy operates under the iron authority of Xavier El Burro - a crime boss, impresario, and pioneer of what he calls Ciencia Negra. When down-on-his-luck Marco Zavala debuts in La Liga Grandiosa against a 750-pound monster named Gordo Loco, the outcome is catastrophic - and the beginning of something far stranger. Hijo De Xavier is body horror, crime fiction, and pulp adventure in one. It introduces the masked criminal architecture, the narcobotanical world, and the interconnected web of characters that run through the entire Our Amplified Earth series. For readers of William Gibson, George Saunders, and whoever wrote the craziest lucha libre fever dream you've ever read. …

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Lloyd Gypsum is tired. The planets are pulling at him. The DPW workers never show their faces. And the Senior City he lives in - nobody leaves. Episode 3 of Our Amplified Earth. Everdale looks like 1950s America: the cars, the houses, the food. It's a golden-age themed Senior City on the Nevada frontier, built for veterans of the Third Opium War. Lloyd Gypsum just wants to sleep. Instead, he wakes up with new injuries every morning and no memory of getting them. When he and his war buddies start sharing each other's dreams - and realize the city's roads are always mysteriously under repair - the truth underneath the honeycomb and the riding mowers begins to surface. Paranoia. Celestial pulls. UN black-site experimentation. Nobody gets out clean. The quietest episode in The Serial is also the most terrifying. ZZZ: The Triple Zed Project is set in Everdale - a government-run Senior City modeled on 1950s Americana, where veterans of the Third Opium War live out their days in carefully managed comfort. Lloyd Gypsum, a former combat pilot, has been waking up with injuries he can't explain and a chronic inability to sleep through the night. The gas giant Jupiter keeps calling. What begins as a meditation on aging, memory, and the slow indignities of institutional care escalates into a full conspiracy: illegal neurological experimentation, shared dream states, manufactured identities, and a government that would rather retire its veterans than reckon with what it did to them. Waters writes the horror of Everdale with the bone-dry wit of a man who's been paying attention to how power actually works. For fans of Philip K. Dick, The Prisoner, and anyone who's ever felt like the town they lived in was watching them.…
