On their way to laying their fallen leader, Dante Blackhart, to rest, the Blades – a highly atypical mercenary band – accept a job offer. It soon becomes clear, however, that their employer has a hidden agenda and is being far from honest with them. Before they know it, the Blades are embroiled in sorcerous shenanigans and the disappearance of a queen, which leads to them defending a besieged city against an invading army in the face of impossible odds.

Fortunately, they have a trick or two up their collective sleeves, but will that be enough?

In The Blackhart Blades, David Gullen delivers a novella of swashbuckling adventure and duplicity, told with wry humour; a fantasy of found family, dangerous magic, good food, war, heroism, betrayal… and terrible poetry.

"Take from the rich and shop for the poor!" A Bonnie and Clyde for the Trump Era, Josie and Novik embark on the ultimate roadtrip. In a near-future re-sculpted politically and geographically by climate change, they blaze a trail across the shopping malls of America in a printed intelligent car (stolen by accident), with a hundred and ninety million LSD-contaminated dollars in the trunk. Pursued by vengeful drug cartels on one side and the agents of corrupt authority on the other, they set out to bring down the system, buying shoes and cameras to change the world. Meanwhile, President Guinevere Snarlow determines to make America great again. She embarks on an ambitious but perilous campaign, invading Mexico on a pretext and plotting to assassinate the richest man the world has ever known… “Packed with bold ideas and genre-shattering extrapolations. And the characters get so deep inside your head you’re still arguing with them days later. Seriously, you need this book.” – Mike Carey, BAFTA nominated author of The Girl with All the Gifts “A clever, dark and often very funny satire on rapacious capitalism.” – Chris Beckett, author of Dark Eden, winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award “One of the most original books I’ve read in many years. It’s mad and bad and you need to read it.” – Jaine Fenn, author of the Hidden Empire novels.

Novik and Josie have a lot of catching up to do. After two years in jail she has waited for his release and never ever wants him to go back in again. In the America of the near-future, being a decent person can cost you dearly. A stress-filled encounter with some “Old-fashioned Boys” at a chain eatery turns their best of intentions upside-down: they’re now on the run and in possession of a super-hot sentient muscle car and 190 million dollars, covered with a potent psychoactive powder. Shopocalyptic road trip, anyone? David Gullen has written a witty and observant novel that effortlessly waves a tale of geo-political destabilisation, shopping, performance art police, well-meaning automobiles, cool killer robots, eco-terrorists, and the importance of storage-space. “Global warming has really begun to bite, but human consumption of resources has become more frantic than ever in this clever, dark and often very funny satire on rapacious capitalism” – Chris Beckett, 2013 Arthur C. Clarke award winner, Dark Eden “A sharp and witty take on the perils of consumerism. Tbh, it was fairly terrifying — very believable” - Francis Knight, Fade to Black ‘Subversive. Hilarious. Touching. Brilliant. What a trip!’ - Jaine Fenn, the Hidden Empire series We are offering .mobi and .epub formats only.
