NOVELS FROM THE WORLDS OF RIGGER & TRIGGER

Rigger & Trigger novels are developed alongside newspapers, documents, and other publications that introduce their worlds before the main stories begin.

Some novels can be read independently. Others continue events, characters, and conflicts first established through a planned sequence of newspaper editions.

Reading the related newspaper is not required, but it provides additional history, locations, rumours, advertisements, public notices, and characters that deepen the novel.

Eat The Rookies may be released independently, although the first eight editions of the The Rock Towne Gazette are intended to provide the fullest introduction to Rock Towne before the novel begins.

Other novels will follow similar prequel publication runs through their dedicated newspapers, including The Ash Index and Circuit One.

These newspapers are not summaries of the novels. They contain their own continuing stories and present each world through reports, interviews, advertisements, notices, scandals, and events experienced by the people living inside it.

Once an opening newspaper sequence is complete, the related novel begins the next major stage of that world’s story.

ANT CARTELS — THE NOVEL

A Novel

A. B. Church

Gran Folaria is beginning to fracture.

A series of violent attacks has unsettled the region, old cartel alliances are failing, and a revolutionary many believed had disappeared has returned.

Don Ráfaga is back.

Five cartel leaders are drawn into the crisis: Doña Clara Attin of the Leafcutters, Don Mal of the Red Bloque, Don Bajada of the Atratus Syndicate, Don Gas of Nylandor Chemical, and El Zoo of the Self-Defence Forces of Archaeologists.

Their search for answers leads them into Cortaza, a city already closing in on itself. United Carpentry forces are tightening control, strange infections are appearing in the streets, and beneath the abandoned railways and ruined districts lies evidence of something far larger than another cartel war.

Ráfaga is destroying laboratories, hunting old secrets and following routes that should have been forgotten.

Nobody agrees on what he wants.

Nobody knows who can still be trusted.

And the deeper the five cartels go, the more they begin to understand that the war above ground may only be the beginning.

Welcome to Gran Folaria.

Action-horror novel from The Bound, following Rock Towne, the surface, and the things that break loose between them.
