Larp. Cringe. Autism. The Smell of a Podcast…
Magnus and Gordon lock their seals, load their Maxwell’s and dive into the depths of Subterrene with T.C. McCarthy’s debut novel Germline, a gritty, psychedelic, drug-fueled odyssey of powered armor, proxy war, and genetically engineered tomboy waifus.
War Journalist Oscar Wendell has fallen off the wagon and hit every branch on the way down. His suicidal tailspin of hard drugs and reckless thrill-seeking has landed him his last chance at redemption: Kazahkstan, the war-torn home of heavy metals, Subterrene tunnel warfare, and his shot at a Pulitzer. The first journalist to see the world from the bloody and brutal front, Oscar experiences firsthand the horrors of war both old and new, and begins his descent into madness as he and his now fellow soldiers fight to survive the tunnels of Kaz.
Equal parts war memoir and classic military SF, T.C. McCarthy’s Germline reads like Joe Haldeman meets Hunter S. Thompson. Brutal, ragged, thrilling, and darkly comedic, Germline is a cutting satire of modern Forever War, an earnest exploration of both the horrors and attractions of war, and a reminder that Love can blossom even on the battlefield.
