THE EXTRACTIONIST cover REVEALED!

This one has been a long time coming. I penned the very first draft of The Extractionist and it’s vision of virtual reality waaaaay back before the Oculus Kickstarter even launched. Little did I know back then that I’d be actually be working on the leading edge of Virtual Reality when the book finally made it’s debut. The world’s a funny place!

i09’s got a sneak peek for you here:

Quotes by Kimberly Unger (?)

“There, among the loops and whorls of the discarded shells, was a tiny spot of color. Color was expensive; color would cost molecules that could be put to better use elsewhere. Everything developed, designed, and released into the wild by Far Reaches was a million different shades of grey.”
― Kimberly Unger, Nucleation

“Line Drive represented the farthest anyone had ever sent a waldo, bypassing every other human-inhabited station and planetoid by a billion miles or more.”
