The God Patent

“I can't believe I ate a seal. And really enjoyed it.”Moments after venture capitalist Gloria Baradaran experiences what it's like to be a polar bear — really be a polar bear — she knows she's found something revolutionary. Farley Rutherford and his team — migraine-tortured neurologist “Chopper” Vittori and uber-geek engineer Ringo Hayes — have created sensory saturation, a virtual reality system that drops users into the psyches of endangered animals as they fight for survival, and they believe the profound experience could turn the indifferent masses into avid environmentalists. The Sensory Deception is a mind-blowing, globe-trotting ride that will take listeners from cutthroat Silicon Valley boardrooms to pirate ships off the Somali coast to the devastated rain forests of the Amazon, all to ask the question: What is a human life worth compared to that of an entire planet?

The Sensory Deception

Welcome to The Gold Piece Inn! Where you can drink, gamble, and play. . . or hide.Cursed on the day the king is assassinated, Dewey Nawton is compelled to protect the widowed queen, but protection means different things to different people (and different curses). Kings have dictated every role Queen Dafina has ever played. Now, a halfling innkeeper assigns her the role of serving lass. But is The Gold Piece Inn just another tavern? Could it be an orphanage? ... surely, it's not a brothel. Oh yes, she's fallen from grace, but will that stop her from leading a handful of pirates and a dozen bastards to avenge her king and rescue Glandaeff's faeries, elfs, and mermaids (and merbutlers!) from a brutal tyrant? Dewey has a secret. Dafina has a secret. The Bastards have two secrets. Is there even a sip of moral justice in all this bawdiness? Meet you at the bar! "Riveting, intense plot of righteous vengeance with tongue-in-cheek banter." -Brian D Anderson, bestselling author of The Bard and the Blade. "Rich fantasy worldbuilding, gory battles, and the kind of thoughtful, character-driven story that makes your brain whirl, your imagination dance, and your heart surge." -J.M. Frey, bestselling author of The Accidental Turn Series
