If you enjoy fast-paced, action thrillers with a decidedly scientific bent, Nanopunk is for you. “Nanopunk. smart sci-fi action that slowly draws you in then accelerates into a book you just can’t put down. I highly recommend it.”
London 2049. Magic and sorcery are terrorist crimes. Night monsters hunt for human prey. Hidden from the world, vampires search for an ancient book of spells that could enslave humanity. #urbanfantasy #action
