At least not any that you'd want to follow. Her only trusted advisor is the aforementioned cat, but even in the future, cats cannot give advice. This is the world in which Zoey Ashe finds herself, navigating a futuristic city in which one can find elements of the fantastic, nightmarish and ridiculous on any street corner. A world in which at least one cat smells like a seafood shop's dumpster on a hot summer day. Get ready for a world in which anyone can have the powers of a god or the fame of a pop star, in which human achievement soars to new heights while its depravity plunges to the blackest depths. Together, they will decide the future of mankind. Mysterious, smooth-talking power players who lurk behind the scenes. An all-seeing social network that tracks your every move. I’d love to hear if you’ve read anything by David Wong.A Winner of the 2016 Alex Awards Nightmarish villains with superhuman enhancements. And along the way, she might just have to learn how to trust people again. She reluctantly joins their cause and help finish what her old man started, tapping into her innate talent for bullshit that she inherited from her hated father. The villain is demanding information about Zoe’s father when she is rescued by The Fancy Suits. Zoey is quickly entangled in the city’s surreal mob war when she is taken hostage by a particularly crazy villain who imagines himself to be a Dr. There she finds that her scumbag dad had actually, in the final years of his life, put his amazing talent for hustling to good use: He was one of the founding members of the Fancy Suits, and died in the course of his duties. Zoey, a recent college graduate with a worthless degree, makes a reluctant trip into the city after hearing that her estranged con artist father had died in a mysterious yet spectacular way. Meanwhile a young girl is caught in the middle, and thinks the whole thing is ridiculous. The peace is kept by a team of smooth, well-dressed negotiators called The Men in Fancy Suits. In a prosperous yet gruesomely violent near-future, superhero vigilantes battle thugs whose heads are full of supervillain fantasies. So I need to start reading this guy’s books, stat! Here’s the book description, in case you need further convincing to read it: David Wong is the author of John Dies at the End, which I hear is fantastic. I don’t know why there is a cat in the middle of a bunch of scary looking guns, but I WANT TO KNOW. Releases in October 2015 from Thomas Dunne Books. I spotted this week’s pick while perusing NetGalley last week, and I immediately added it to my Goodreads TBR shelf:įuturistic Violence and Fancy Suits by David Wong.
