Halfway through GAHA and enjoying it immensely. Found out about it via Biblioklept. Just ordered Specimen Tank on Amazon, but I’d love to keep exploring the GAHA world with The Man Who Can’t Die (is The Last Bender also sci-fi noir?…I have a penchant for Phil K. Dick type stuff). Where can I read these two? I don’t want to read excerpts — I want ALL OF IT 🙂 — but can’t seem to find it on your site. Can you please direct me to the right URL, or else a link to a purchase site?
Hi Roman,
Wow, thank you for reading. MAN should be downloadable, in its entirety, as an e-book or PDF from this website. If it is not, I’ll have to fix that. If it can’t be fixed, I can have it sent to you via email attachment I think. My publisher Miette has an e-book formatted version of MAN. The Last Bender, posted here in chapters, is also sci fi noir. Speciemn Tank and The Last Bender are much earlier books. MAN is a prequel to GAHA and much more like GAHA, although third person, and bigger.

Thanks, Jon! I’ll dig around the site to find that MAN PDF download. Spent the better part of the PM yesterday reading GAHA…it’s been a looong while since I’ve been so absorbed by a book (in fact, was pleasantly surprised by Irmela’s reading tastes; at one point she’s reading Thomas Bernhard, one of my faves and the last writer whose books I devoured with rapt attention — so you’re in great company!).
