It’s here! It’s finally here! If you’re in Canada, you can now buy LICENCE EXPIRED: THE UNAUTHORIZED JAMES BOND. Why only in Canada? Well, copyright is a funny thing.

reV: or, the Apocalypse as told by the Devil herself
Oh, hello. Were you curious about what your psychotic grandmother the distributed AI was doing? Well, wonder no longer! Portia is happily causing havoc in America’s airports, using widely-available, mostly-insecure data from wearable technologies, purchasing records, and surveillance networks.

Sugoi! The Japanese vN cover is here!
