Earth, post-Apocalypse. After more than a hundred years, Thibault Allard finally has a clue to his wife's whereabouts. When an ambitious leader offers him a way to reach her, he agrees to the dangerous plan of taking down two rival rulers.
Successfully capturing his employer’s enemies, Thibault confronts a threat to their bargain when he discovers an ally enslaved in a virtual reality prison. And as the cybernetically enhanced fighter sees hopes for redemption diminishing, so do his chances of staying alive.
Can the wracked bounty hunter pave the path back to the woman he lost without sacrificing the last of his morality?
A Phantom in the Forge is the gritty second book in The Slip Saga science fiction fantasy series. If you like genre-bending stories, fast-paced action, and multi-POV thrill rides, then you’ll love Simon Tull’s gripping nail-biter.
Simon Tull is a software sorcerer by day and a couch potato by night. By the cold light of morning, he transforms coffee grounds into fun stories. On the rare occasions he’s able to do something other than sling code or sweat words, he fancies himself as a yoga student, basketballer, runner, cook, and fussy cat companion.
Like many science fiction and fantasy authors, Simon was inspired to write his own stories after vicariously experiencing the exploits of Rand al'Thor, Druss the Legend, Murderbot, and, of course, Arthur Dent.
He lives on the Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria, Australia with his wife and two cats.
