Book description:
Dex knows first-hand how tough it is living on the edge of a thoroughly technologized civilization in Grenver, Colorado. But it also has its perks. With his small league of street-smart outcasts, he’s snarled the system with some of the most brazen stunts of the 22nd century. Not bad for an orphaned sewer rat that can’t remember his childhood and will most likely end up iced for ages like any other criminal.
No past, no future: no problem. As long as Dex has his friends and his mischief, he’ll be alright. But after a botched stunt, Dex wakes up a foreigner in a brutal, bizarre underground city controlled by more than one shameless force—blind, a sword strapped to his back, and an old man telling him he’s the vital component of the coming revolution. Dex can barely take in the reality of a new time before he’s on the run, hunted by vicious assassins, and mixed up in a deadly plot a millennium in the making—and with the fate of two worlds at stake.
THE LAST ITERATION OF DEXTER MAXWELL is available as printed edition (ISBN 978-3-942358-30-9, perfect paperback) and ebook for all major reading devices and platforms.
