One Awake In All The World

(2011)
A Novella by

 
 
A mind-blowing science fiction thriller from an award-winning Star Trek and Doctor Who author. The bigger the bug, the bigger the gun! Exterminators Pass Candle and Nona Stiletto keep space safe for humanity by mowing down hostile alien lifeforms. Cyborg implants and badass attitudes make these warriors unstoppable, but a distress call lands them in the battle of a lifetime on a postapocalyptic alien world. Stalked by hordes of unimaginably savage creatures, Pass and Nona fight a war for survival against impossible odds. Their only hope: an abandoned alien child who might be the last of her species left alive, and the only key to a terrible secret that might end the carnage...if she can stay awake long enough to figure it out.

This masterpiece of scifi horror will race you out to the edge of reality, blow your mind, and kick your ass. Don't miss the uncut version of this story, acclaimed as a "Standout selection..." in a Publishers Weekly starred review, available here from Tsetse Press for the first time anywhere.

Reviews

A "Standout selection...," "an unlikely love story that pits two space-faring 'exterminators' against a horde of nightmarish monstrosities." - Publishers Weekly starred review

Robert T. Jeschonek "sees the world like no one else sees it, and makes incredibly witty, incisive stories out of that skewed worldview." - Mike Resnick, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of the Starship series

"Robert Jeschonek is the literary love child of Tim Burton and Neil Gaiman--his fiction is cutting edge, original, and pulsing with dark and fantastical life. His stories suck me in and refuse to let me go until the last page, even as his characters are busy stealing my heart." - Adrian Phoenix, critically acclaimed author of The Maker's Song series and Black Dust Mambo
