SynopsisThe debut novel from Zack Parsons ( My Tank is Fight ) is a mind-bending journey through time and genres. Beginning in 1874, with a blood-soaked western story of revenge, Liminal States follows a trio of characters through a 1950s noir detective story and 21st-century sci-fi horror. Their paths are tragically intertwined and their choices have far-reaching consequences for the course of American history., In the tradition of Kurt Vonnegut's darkly satirical sci-fi characters or Anthony Zuicker's interactive thriller, Liminal States features a pair of protagonists who are duplicated over and over again from the 1870s to the present day - making them effectively immortal. Their existence will have a dramatic effect on world history with subjective glimpses of the altered world, websites and a serial narrative that lays the foundation for the novel., A visionary tour de force, Liminal States begins in 1874, out on the wilder edges of the New Mexico Territory, where Gideon Long stumbles toward his certain death, shot by his nemesis, Warren Groves, during a botched train robbery. But a mysterious white dog draws Gideon into a cave, leading him on a course that will alter a nation's history. . . Over a hundred years later, the promise of America has grown twisted beyond recognition. Two sworn enemies are still alive, immortalized by the foreign alchemy of an alien presence. Their feud has unknowingly set the stage for humanity's end. An invasion is well under way, unseen, unstoppable. Between submission and death, freedom is a distant whisper. . . A bold mashup of imagination and innovation, Liminal States is truly a story without limits.
