This little book was completely unintentional. Blame Padma Devi, who showed up at the end of Tomb of the Sun King and demanded that I write it. As in most things, she knew better than the rest of us what needed to happen.

If I had a nickel for every action flick this year I expected to be a fun-but-gritty ride that was instead a vehicle for a massive found family vibe, reminding us we can't get through this alone, I'd have two nickels.
Which isn't a lot, but it's funny it's happened twice.

Predator: Badlands had no right o be as fun, enjoyable, and sometimes wholesome as it was. I am going to be singing its praises for a bit, that's for sure. I am locked in.
The found family vibes are absolutely top-notch.

I think it's important to give money to author support orgs that actively defend our interests. It's just solidarity.
But solidarity is a contract. Author support orgs that violate solidarity by promoting AI do not get my money.
So... IN A WAY, I guess AI is saving me money this year. Depressing.
