Sean Platt - The Beam, Season One

$9.99

In a grim future, choice is all you have.

In 2097, the world is as perfect as you want it to be.

Choose Enterprise and the government stays out of your way, leaving you free to sink or swim — no help for the drowning.

Choose Directorate and all are equal, fed, sheltered and entertained by the government, every need provided for, and every man another cog in society´s machine.

Every six years during Shift, citizens decide who they are. Enterprise or Directorate, lives are lived inside the North American Union, walled off from the rest of the world and the Wild East beyond the shell, enhanced by incredible A.I., nanobots that monitor and support daily living, and The Beam: the network connecting every human in the NAU.

New powers are rising as emergent technology blooms from an unknown source, and threatens to shatter peace and throw the nation into chaos.

What does the future mean when our present is stretched and reality blurred?

This is the first episode in the epic sci-fi saga, The Beam, by breakout indie authors Sean Platt and Johnny B. Truant.

An epic quest hurls marshal and unicorn across the endless desert in pursuit of the dark rider Dharma Kold and his unicorn of a different color, where they must battle their way back toward The Realm to uncover the truth...and mayhap save the worlds that hang in the balance.

From the creators of Yesterday´s Gone (Platt) and Fat Vampire (Truant) comes this reinvention of both the western genre and unicorn lore. Appropriate for adults, teens, and children, Unicorn Western is "Harry Potter without wizards but with gunslingers, talking unicorns, epic fights, and more turkey pie."

Sean Platt - Plugged

Are We Who We Were?

Throughout the 21st Century, our world (at least for those of us inside the NAU) has become increasingly connected.

In Sterling Gibson´s newest thoughtful exploration, one of the NAU´s most renowned thinkers explores and illuminates how hyperconnectivity and The Beam have changed us forever.

Luke Young - Gone Girl Parody: Go Away Girl

$0.99

On a warm summer morning in Frayser, Tennessee, it is Rick and Winnie Dunce’s fifth wedding anniversary. Presents aren´t actually being wrapped nor are reservations really being made when Rick’s somewhat brilliant, yet borderline psychotic wife, vanishes. Husband-of-the-Year Rick isn’t doing himself any favors with troubling fantasies about opening up his wife’s skull (Hannibal Lecter style) or his wholly inappropriate joke at his missing wife´s news conference. Passages from Winnie´s diary expose just how completely out of her mind she really is. The super-annoying perfectionist with her inane treasure hunt clues and bizarre quiz questions could have put anyone precariously on edge. I mean, if he did kill her, can you really blame him? 

Under growing pressure from the cops and the media—as well as Winnie’s weird and selfishly preoccupied parents—the suspect/husband dispenses a continuous series of lies, deceptions, and inappropriate behavior. Rick is strangely evasive, kind of dumb and he’s certainly hostile—but is he really a killer? 

A parody of, Gone Girl, Gillian Flynn´s acclaimed and runaway bestselling masterpiece, Go Away Girl, will leave you doubled over with laughter, gasping for breath and checking to see if your own ottoman can really balance on its side like that.
