SF writer Gary Gibson: xkcd uncovers the truth

Coming March 2020

Nobody has taken part in the Devil’s Run annual road race as often as Dutch McGuire and lived to tell the tale. The racecourse circumnavigates the post-apocalyptic ruins of Teijouan, and with a choice between being eaten by the monstrous Kaiju that prowl the island’s devastated cities or murdered by her fellow racers, the odds against surviving another Run, let alone winning it, are slim.

Dutch doesn’t care about the odds nearly so much as she cares about getting back behind the wheel of her beloved Ford Falcon—except for one problem: she’s spent the last five years incarcerated in a high-security prison for her part in a heist.

So when a crooked billionaire offers to put her back in the race on condition she uses it as cover for a secret retrieval operation, she can’t refuse.

Can Dutch survive assassins, monsters, and psychopathic drivers long enough to complete her mission as well as take part in the race—or is this the year death finally catches up with her in a blazing tangle of wreckage?

DOOMSDAY GAME

It's the end of the world...again.

Over the years, the Pathfinders have become a tight-knit team as they search for an alternate they might one day call home. Now, at last, one has been found: an Edenic alternate Earth on which humanity never evolved.

But just when their work seems over, new threats emerge. One comes from within the Authority itself, but the other is so completely unexpected that the Pathfinders are quickly overwhelmed.

The race is on to deal with the final - and greatest - threat they have yet encountered as they journey through alternate Earths rendered lifeless by rogue singularities or littered with ancient and perilous ruins.

Faced with their own extinction, can they pull together one last time…as well as save the Authority from itself?

Available on Kindle, Kobo, iBooks & others. Also available in paperback and hardback.
