    About this ebook

    Offense or Defense? A better question for our heroes turns out to be: offense with an S or a C? No matter, HR-571 is just now deploying a bevy of irresistible clickbait that will force everyone to wilt in abject surrender. Cookies? She’s got ‘em. Cakes? She makes ‘em, and her lip gloss comes packaged in a full metal jacket. Just sign here on the dotted line and never you mind the fine print. A 24-panel imaginal. The Minerva Offense is the sixth book in the Uncommon Synths Saga.

    Author

    Brian S. Parrish

    Author Brian Parrish is an awed believer in the power of story and a regular patron of the dreaming. However, he's best known as a virtual stunt pilot, human cannonball coach, Indianapolis slot car racer and tender tiger tamer—in a parallel universe, that is, where his Elkhart Blue 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS has been impounded for extraordinary parking fee accumulation. In this one, he scribbles the odd story and subscribes to the International Psychic Cat Network. He lives in the rolling red hills of Virginia with an ambling caravan of family, friends and familiars.
