Shane Brannagh

Dark Matter 101 Shane Brannagh

A satirical romantic comedy from the writer of "Glass Empire" and "The Zone"Mark Winger was the every-man protagonist, a down on his luck nobody with nothing and yet somehow everything to lose... One night he receives a mysterious phone call, from an unknown assailant, the mysterious and severely disturbed Jack Twain, a suave noir Detective from both the future and the past. Against his better judgement Winger becomes entangled in the sinister schemes of President Whedon and the United Space Alliance in their desperate attempt to seize control of an ancient and terrible weapon "The Exodus Machine." With that in mind Mark and the Detective are assigned the most impossible task of hunting down the most wanted man in the Cosmos, the notoriously handsome Starboy, a sexually deranged outlaw, from the fourth dimension, whom for undisclosed reasons is now the most wanted man in the galaxy. Meanwhile on the other side of the Galaxy, Doctor General, the leader of the terrorist organisation known only as Medusa has set in motion an elaborate ruse to thwart their efforts. As it transpires an ancient prophecy relays that the one called Winger, will bring balance to time and space and bring a lasting peace to the war that tore their worlds apart. It's a literal race against time for Winger and company to put an end to the President's convoluted schemes of world domination and somehow prevent a paradox that would rip the very fabric of existence apart. The inept debut novel from inexperienced writer, Shane Brannagh has everything you'd expect from an unrestrained pulp at its finest. Sea monsters, gunslingers and conspiracies galore await within the magnificent pages. Sure what else would you want?
