by Jak Koke and Jonathan Bond
Originally published in Amazing Stories, Deadwise (with Jonathan Bond) is a science fiction novella in the vein of Johnny Mnemonic.
Young Sly is on the run from Deadwise — a mythical, jacked-up assassin that is all too real. Sly has no idea why she’s trying to kill him. Deadwise has been in hiding for years. What would bring her out now?
Can Sly evade Deadwise long enough to learn why she wants him dead? Can he figure out why he remembers being someone else— an adult, a criminal, and a corpse that was violently murdered by Deadwise yesterday?
Deadwise is available in epub on kobo, or play. Kindle version is here.
