    About this ebook

    Never look this boss in the eye.

     

    Feckniss was content in his London cubicle. The last thing he wanted was to wind up in a Nevada ghost town with his monotone boss, Blanders. If that's the price of moving up in the company, though, Feckniss is willing to pay it… until Blanders reveals a truth that Feckniss would run away from, if only it weren't for the ghosts.

     

    The Rucksack Universe series combines alternate history, speculative fiction, myth, adventure, globetrotting, and intrigue—all with well-poured pints of beer. Library Journal says Anthony St. Clair's storytelling has "universe building reminiscent of Terry Pratchett," and readers say they love the Rucksack Universe's unique combination of "quirk, wit, travel, and magic."
