Visit Bladderacks! 

"The atomic utopia beneath the waves!"

Spiraling boulevards climb electric towers, heavily modified punks rock from one dusk to the next, and corporate skyscrapers hang from the sky, all bathed in the neon lights of the city. "But wait," you may ask, "was the city of Bladderacks not on the edge of complete collapse just last year?" Well I can't reveal all the city's secrets, but let's just say an unnamed benefactor stepped up to save the day. I'd tell you more but... he's a man who really appreciates his privacy...

We join Byrnwilo (having traveled alone for nearly a year following the events of Exoskeleton) as she ventures into the city of Bladderacks in search of clues to answer these questions. And maybe, while she's there, find a cure for her loneliness...

Intacta is a thrilling, sci-fi adventure novel with terrifying ordeals, personal missteps, and interpersonal drama. This book is intended for mature audiences. This is a sequel to Exoskeleton, a story that starts with Metroparasite, though I am also confident in it's ability to stand alone as a story. Word count: ~96,000
