When both new powers and old dangers surface, the Blast becomes deadlier than ever, in the second installment of this cyberpunk adventure series from the creator of Victor of Tucson and Cyber Dreams.
Tony and Addie are drawn deeper into the Blast’s criminal networks as Dust empaths, operators, and gangs collide in unpredictable ways. Just as Addie begins to understand her power, a new Spark emerges, and she and Tony must navigate shifting alliances and rising dangers that’ll test both their survival instincts and their growing connection.
Plum Parrot is the pen name of author Miles Gallup, who grew up in Southern Arizona and spent much of his youth wandering around the Sonoran Desert, hunting imaginary monsters and building forts. He studied creative writing at the University of Arizona and, for a number of years, attempted to teach middle schoolers to love literature and write their own stories. If he’s not spending time with his dog, you can find Gallup writing, reading his favorite authors, or playing D&D with friends and family.
