Emma Taumata just cooked her last bounty alive. It was an accident.
Emma's a washed-up bounty hunter working for Earth's colonialist alien overlords, the Qhixs'is, who so generously turned off the power, factories, & banned toilets nearly two decades ago. Despite her hatred of them, Emma loves her job, but she's just had another shitty Thursday, & lost the last of her points. So, she's forced to hunt her childhood best friend, Davis Jake.
The once serialized A Gun Is The Thing With Feathers is now here, in full novel form, featuring bonus content! For fans of Science Fiction Dystopia and post apocalypse vibes. AGITTWF features a strong female ace protagonist and an LGBTQIA+POC cast, full of found family, platonic love and adventure.
Comps: The Future by Naomi Alderman, Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, and Blackbirds by Chuck Wendig.
Tasting Notes: Reclaimed and overgrown dystopia, found family, sentient car and chicken, streaming slop, golf, and murder to a nightmare social media, rebellion and resistance, tentacle aliens, Jane doesn't die
Content Guidance: This novel has plenty of swearing, violence, specifically blood and gore, bigotry, ghosts, guns, religious extremism, non-terrestrial creatures, Capitalism, manipulation, and children in danger. It also contains some depictions of parental abuse, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, body horror, mentions of sexual violence, and Maxx Hard (you'll get it when you meet him.)
