In/Famous: A Cyberpunk Fantasy

After murdering a cyber-paladin and betraying her church, ex-spy Maxine Ali is on the run. Unfortunately, she’s just been shipwrecked.

Only pirates, criminals, and desperate heretics seek shelter in the technologically backwater town of Driftwood. Normally, a freshly-minted blasphemer like Max would find it a convenient place to be shipwrecked—but the inquisition warship sitting in the harbor suggests that the church is finally ready to tame Driftwood’s dissidents.

Max has zero desire to involve herself in Driftwood’s troubles; all she wants is to retire and disappear. But her ride isn’t going to fix itself, and her girlfriend, Jaq, is all too eager to support a local insurrection. Soon, Max finds herself caught in the crossfire, captured by outlaws, and confronted with the consequences of her old allegiances. Suddenly, Max’s most dangerous secret is at risk of coming out… and if it does, everyone in Driftwood might well want her dead.

The second book in Cullen McHael’s Inmani Series charts new frontiers in weird west science fiction. Enter the town of Driftwood and join the heretical cyberpunk rebellion.
