Meteor Mags: Asteroids and Anarchy

by Matthew Howard

Space pirate, anarchist, pole dancer, tobacco smuggler, and rock-and-roll Meteor Mags blazes through the solar system in a series of adventures with her foul-mouthed nephew, Tarzi, and her adorably indestructible cat, Patches.


In the not-so-distant future of 2029, an alien empire based on slavery and suffering has decided to make our solar system their next conquest. Meteor Mags and her fun-loving friends find themselves in the midst of a brutal struggle that will test them to the limits of their endurance and show us what they are really made of. Along the way, we learn the history of Meteor Mags’ unusually long life and her illustrious ancestors.


The Meteor Anarchy and Asteroids ebook contains six thematically-related short stories from the Meteor Mags universe, three character "interviews", and twelve black-and-white illustrations.

About the author

Matthew Howard is the pen name of a significant number of atoms which organized themselves to produce a biochemical activity so complex and so advanced that the resultant organism is expected to continue its self-awareness for at least as long as it takes to finish two more cups of coffee.

Matthew consists primarily of electrons and the nuclei they orbit, but he remains under constant bombardment by photons of varying frequencies. Millions of microorganisms colonize him every second of the day, even when he is sleeping.

His hobbies include traveling through time at the rate of one second per second, looking at cats on the Internet, and metabolizing liquid carbohydrates. He has never merged with a symbiote, nor been infested by a xenomorph, nor been overtaken by an artificial intelligence in the service of any dystopic overlord.

At least, not yet.
