The megacity of New Montreal is under constant threat by the Antithesis, aliens who have transformed the landscape to produce swarms of creatures that feed on everything in their path. The city's infrastructure is in disrepair, and the politicians and corporations responsible for its maintenance have been slacking off, leaving angry citizens to fend for themselves.

After their wedding--and the Ice Dame's high-handed exploitation of the event--Triana and O'Neill embark on their honeymoon, only to find they’ve been booked on a CelebVid cruise to Armstrong with Vanti, Elodie, and Leo. When the jump to Armstrong throws Triana and O'Neill into an alternate reality, they must outsmart the multi-verse versions of their friends, a lunatic professor and his corporate sponsor, and a cargo hold full of egg-throwing rodents, if they hope to return to their own lives.

With the help of a team from a nearby settlement, the rebuilding begins with a focus on safety. Their healer, Jessica, is as beautiful as she is tough. If we could convince her to stay in Hope that would be a huge advantage. More hands means less work, and soon we had a thriving garden and four livable homes. With some help, I began work on a waterwheel that could power our new settlement. Next step: getting the plumbing working again. Things were going well, and life was simple and satisfying when we focused on the basics.

Henry's life has taken a turn for the weirder. His reality has been gamified—and the game’s architect seems to be a few stats short of a full character sheet. With his nephew's life hanging in the balance, Henry will face off against bosses, minions, and more, mined from his own memories, where D&D game dynamics, eighties-era action tropes, and vegetable phobias reign supreme.

The survival of our universe depends on a music-loving librarian and a thousand-year-old alien. He’s got wings, she’s got a flute. What could go wrong?

A region of space with different laws of physics. A child’s story about black holes. An interoffice memorandum presaging the end of the world. An alien named Gerald. These are some of the stories you’ll find in There Is No Cat, a collection of short fiction by Gene Doucette. Each story is unique, both in the topic and the telling, as Gene never seems to approach his stories the same way twice. See what our world looks like from the perspective of a newly self-aware nanobot, or the eyes of a precocious child. Read between the lines of corporate-speak for news of an impending apocalypse.

It all started as a milk run: a working vacation on New Arcadia, the neo-Victorian and Edwardian steampunk orbital, with cards and booze and filthy jokes aplenty. Then it became a bigger — but still low-stakes — job involving stolen Egyptian artifacts with a payday almost too good to be true. How it ended up, though, might have involved going to war with a bloodthirsty outlaw gang of neo-Nazi, neo-pagan, cybernetic, steampunk biker werewolves and trying to prevent the Viking apocalypse. Maybe with the help of half-alien Jesus, an ancient cat goddess, and a small army of berserker dwarves.

Welcome to Veil City—a neon-soaked empire where the elite upload their minds to cheat death.

Not only that, but the way the techs were rebuilding him was . . . different.
