About the book:
What if someday Gamergate went galactic? What if the toxic corporate interests of Earth tasked its most toxic gamers with doing their colonialist bidding?
What if their insignificant reign of terror reached beyond the borders of their parents’ basements and bedrooms, and they were all given remote command of real weapons of war on another world?
From Matt Dinniman comes an all-hands-on-deck sci-fi war novel that pits the peasants against the plutocracy, pitchforks against spaceships, rock ‘n’ roll against oppression, and love against greed. Operation Bounce House is a deliciously terrifying, anarchic adventure rich with riotous characters and a plot that crackles towards chaos with all the alacrity of a dynamite fuse. This is a hair-raising intergalactic invasion story that never forgets the humans at its core.

Two kids meet in a hospital gaming room in 1987. One is visiting her sister, the other is recovering from a car crash. Their shared love of video games becomes a shared world—of joy, escape and fierce competition. But all too soon that time is over, fades from view.
When the pair spot each other eight years later in a crowded train station, they are catapulted back to that moment.

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow takes us on a dazzling imaginative quest as it examines the nature of identity, creativity, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play and, above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love.

About the book:
Victor and Eli started out as college roommates—brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who recognized the same sharpness and ambition in each other. In their senior year, a shared research interest in adrenaline, near-death experiences, and seemingly supernatural events reveals an intriguing possibility: that under the right conditions, someone could develop extraordinary abilities. But when their thesis moves from the academic to the experimental, things go horribly wrong.
Ten years later, Victor breaks out of prison, determined to catch up to his old friend (now foe), aided by a young girl whose reserved nature obscures a stunning ability. Meanwhile, Eli is on a mission to eradicate every other super-powered person that he can find. Armed with terrible power on both sides, driven by the memory of betrayal and loss, the archnemeses have set a course for revenge—but who will be left alive at the end?
In ‘Vengeful’, the super-powered world expands as new players enter the board, including Marcella Riggins, a woman who has no intention of letting the men dictate the rules of the game. V.E. Schwab’s ‘Villains’ series is a masterful, twisted exploration of ambition, morality, and what it truly means to be a hero or a villain.
