Furies: Thus Spoke starts like a rocket and never lets up. O'Brian Gunn gives us a wildly inventive vision of technology, the future--and what it means to be human. Don't miss it! - Nik Korpon, author of The Soul Standard, Stay Gold, and The Rebellion's Last Traitor Furies: Thus Spoke strikes familiar chords - people oppressed for their talents and distinctions. But, as you gaze into Gunn's tales of super-human characters, you may discover your own reflection looking back at you. - R. Alan Brooks, writer and creator of The Burning Metronome With nerve, verve, and visceral thrills galore, O'Brian Gunn wields Furies 'Thus Spoke' like a weapon. His target: The superhero genre. The result: A punchy yet lyrical take on how power can both uplift and corrupt, scrawled on a fabulist scale. - Jason Heller, Hugo Award-winning editor, pop culture contributor to The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, and more, and author of Strange Stars.
