Can’t wait for this one. Perilous Times was brilliant!
My second novel, THE KNIGHT WATCH, will be published by Orbit in June this year. It features the Knights of the Round Table killing Nazis and living their messy queer afterlives during the Second World War. I'll be sharing the wonderful cover art as soon as I'm permitted to do so.

Currently reading Son of a Liche by J. Zachary Pike, following on from Orconomics and loving this series so much. Bit Pratchett, bit Dresden Files, just a very funny, easy read with a lot of dry wit. SPFBO continues to give me top notch brain elixir!

A question everyone should ask themselves:
If a white man from Ireland with NO criminal record who is legally in the US can be imprisoned in an ICE concentration camp, what makes you think ICE/DHS won't do the same to you?

Peter Thiel is a dangerous, unhinged, raving lunatic with far too much influence.
I know which of the two (Theil/ Thunberg) is like an anti-Christ. (Hint. It isn’t Thunberg).
Peter Thiel warns the Antichrist and apocalypse are linked to the ‘end of modernity’ currently happening—and cites Greta Thunberg as a driving example
