@tmgreen.ukHe failed the safety exam by planning not to die. They hired him as Deadeye anyway. On a rust-bucket barge run by a cowboy AI that turns fatalities into pep talks, survival is the real frontier rebellion.

@tmgreen.ukWhat happens when a man determined to survive joins a crew that romanticizes dying gloriously? A failing space barge. A delusional captain. An AI that drawls fatality reports. Dark comedy gold.

@esraye.bsky.social"Themes of freedom, redemption, and found family abound. It's a satisfying, rewarding romp."
(Nevermind the comparisons to Firefly and The Mandalorian, which make my heart flutter every time!)

@tmgreen.ukHe failed the safety exam by refusing to die on cue. They named him Deadeye and sent him to a rusting barge where death comes with a drawl and red means go. Cowardice is his only edge.

@esraye.bsky.socialIf Gas Giant Gambit is one long stand-off between Gus and Laszlo Leconte, it all starts in this scene.
It ain't high noon, but it may as well be.

@esraye.bsky.socialAs of tomorrow, Sept. 16th, my debut novel, Gas Giant Gambit, has been published for an entire year.
It's been a doozy of an orbit, so this week I'm taking some time to list out the highlights.

@tmgreen.ukThe company loves heroes. Heroes die by Thursday. One man failed every bravery test on purpose and still got hired. Now hes counting the ways a cheerful cowboy AI and a dying ship will try to kill him.
@esraye.bsky.socialGood news! There are more Gus books planned, and the Gus books are also part of a larger shared universe of stories I call the "Delilah-verse" after Gus's iconic ray-gun!
Get in on a growing pantheon of stories with Gas Giant Gambit, now!

@tmgreen.ukFailed for lacking courage. Hired for being hard to kill. On a barge that celebrates glorious deaths and paints over the rust, Deadeye Grubb has one goal: survive by every undramatic trick in the book.
@esraye.bsky.socialStrange things are afoot in the Las Ráfagas engineering corral. Gus doesn't want to know, but Las Ráfagas has other plans.
Fall into the mystery of Gas Giant Gambit.

@tmgreen.ukHe failed the safety exam by refusing to die on cue, so the company hired him. Job perks: a folksy AI that reports fatalities like weather, a dead man's locker, and Thursday's mandatory noon duel. Plan: survive.
@tmgreen.ukWhat if the smartest thing on the deadly frontier is refusing to be brave? One man plans pure undramatic survival on a rusting barge racing toward certain doom. Caution is his only courage.
