Sic Semper, Sic Semper, Sic Semper

Maggie Gordon

Warrick's Sic Semper is... odd. Our protagonist decides to sequester himself from the world and/or kill himself by using time travel complications to build an apartment in the skull of President Lincoln, moments before the man is shot. Not exactly your typical set-up. I did not predict I would be reading about a man digging out brains today. Unsurprisingly, the story is a bit morbid and uncomfortable. The protagonist struggles with personal crises and responds with inertia. Really really weird inertia. It's a bizarre, but oddly captivating read with some terrific visuals. If you don't mind reading about someone hollowing out skulls.
