Marwick: Static Saga Vol. 3

by M.D. Thalmann

Volume three in the Static Saga -
Marwick was the first of his kind; an imposing cyborg soldier tasked with leading the most intimidating army in Sol. Programmed to take orders and given every resource available across five worlds, his job couldn't have been made simpler: keep the skies clear of the dregs of humanity while the Regime colonized Luna, Mars, and the outer planets. But any sentient warrior, even one with regulated fail-safes implanted in their neural interface, is bound to have a few bad ideas along the way. Predictably, his bad choices often involved the same woman.

About the author

M.D. (Michael Dirk) Thalmann, a novelist and freelance journalist specializing in satire and science fiction, lives in Phoenix, Arizona with his wife, children, and ornery cats, reads too much and sleeps too little. He has a couple dogs, too, but doesn’t like to mention them due to the slippers one of them ate in 2009, which neither has yet fessed up to. He is originally from Little Rock, Arkansas and has been living in the desert since 2004 when he took the novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas entirely too serious and moved on a lark. He has been into journalism in one fashion or another and writing fiction and so on since he was ten years old or so and has gotten at least 20% better since that time. Today M.D. writes freelance and does columns for a few magazines here and there while working on his various novels and cursing his cats.

M.D. Thalmann is influenced by Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Philip K. Dick, Carl Hiaasen, and (obviously) Hunter S. Thompson. His debut novel, The 13 Lives of a Television Repair Man, is available through SpaceDock Publishing, and his next, Static-Redux, a satirical science fiction/ space opera, is slotted for release in early 2017.
