Sequel to Quiescence.

"Back in the day, they called Crucible's power the Light of Truth: just enough hardwired single-purpose telepathy to lash out with a beautiful burst of golden light, and 'show evildoers the error of their ways'.

(The fact that overwriting people's ethics with her own, no matter how awful they are, is coercive mind control gets glossed over a lot.)

Without it, without her, I'd probably have ended up a black hat in a shallow grave, just another bad kid come to a bad end. Instead —

— yeah, well. Anyway.

Some bastard or other is poking around the Eden Boxes: nanotech doomsday devices from decades past. Cruce and the team put that bad idea down the first time round; just a question of slapping cuffs on the correct dipshits this time too, right?"

Slice-of-life relationship drama and low-key adventure shenanigans with disaster queer superheroes.

Will this be offered as a pdf???

Thanks!!!

Unfortunately, "a PDF" is not necessarily useful to anyone.

The format was fundamentally designed for print layout; in order to make a PDF, I have to dictate what size paper I'm laying out. The resulting document isn't flexible across differently sized or oriented screens; if I set the paper size larger or smaller than your display, or I set the font size smaller or larger than you'd like, you're just stuck with a PDF that's hard to read.

I can appreciate the size of paper issue, however some users like myself do not have iPads nor Apple products.  This makes use of an epub format more challenging.

Thank you for the response.

ePub isn't an Apple format? — it's a cross-platform ebook publishing industry standard, originally in competition with and now adopted by Amazon's Kindle. Ebook reading software for literally any platform should support it.

I should also point out that I am willing to meet people halfway on formats, but I'm not prepared to waste effort on a PDF for you that might just be unreadable — and you haven't told me anything about the screen you want to read it on.

Thank you for all you do.  Don't worry about the PDF format.

I'm sorry for any trouble.
