Ged Maybury

Edge Town (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"If you like high-energy retrofitted cyberpunk where community spirit prevails in a dog-eat-dog world, then you too will enjoy this book! The story has swashbuckling without the swords, moral dilemmas without high-bending concepts, and aliens without silly clichés."

"Highly recommended for lovers of classic sci-fi and spaghetti westerns."

- Emily Taylor; GOODREADS

Huddled in a dying town far from the pulse of Galactic civilisation, a fractured community of crims, losers and tough-arse truckies are saved by the 'miracle' of an old piano and a moody geisha, while the same kindly Fates relentlessly flay a young wanker's vainglorious visualisations. Can naive intern Filmore Bagel survive his stint in deadly Edgetown, or will he run away like the others did? Is he really a miracle worker? Is this shit-storm really called 'Destiny'? And will he ever get laid? But never mind all that - for the Fates have kept their best stuff till last!

Autorenporträt

Ged Maybury is an Australasian author of children's and YA novelist, with 14 books conventionally published (not counting this series) and a lot more in the pipeline.

Finalist - NZ Children's Book Awards 1994: "The Triggerstone"

Finalist - NZ Children's Book Awards 2001: "Crab Apples"

He began 1994 in his favourite genre: Science Fiction, later adding comedy and slice-of-life, and finally returned to his sci-fi roots with Steampunk.

This series is aimed at young adults and anyone else who likes an engaging adventure, but as far as any full-on "adult" content goes: well that's just not his thing. (Okay - there's a bit of it.)

He was born in Christchurch, New Zealand, and grew up in Dunedin; dux of his school; blah-blah-blah … Went into architecture, ended up in the performing arts and has been writing plays, poetry and books ever since. He also has earned some notoriety as a Cosplayer and Costumer, Steampunk Sculptor, Performance Poet and Story-teller. Occasionally he writes plays and films. Even more occasionally they get produced.

WORLD-FIRST: Maybury lays claim to the world's first custom-written theme-song to a book.
