About

"Shatter Dark is inventive, fresh, and clever, and Canadian Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame member R. Graeme Cameron has a wise and witty narrative voice. Bravo!" – Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of The Downloaded. "Shatter Dark is a delightful romp of nonstop action through a future plagued with misconceptions and stone age chaos. Rudwulf the Smiter is swept up in a cascade of disasters. As oligarchs and dictators attempt to revive lost civilizations in their bid for control, Rudwulf manages to stay one step ahead. Shatter Dark is wildly entertaining." – Colleen Anderson, Rhysling Award and SFPA poetry contest winner. "Shatter Dark completely captivated me. Love the writing style." – Arlene F. Marks, author of The Earthborn and Weekends can be Murder. "Shatter Dark is a hilariously clever read. It's a science fiction story full of cynicism, satire, and post-apocalyptic absurdity. Rudwulf's inner snarl and Buddy-bod's snide AI commentary keep the tone biting and brilliant." – Rhea E. Rose, poet, educator, and editor of Polar Starlight Magazine. Humanity endured limited nuclear war, climate warming, and the rising of the oceans. Turned out that was easy compared to what happened next. For the first time in centuries, survival depends on humans making the right decisions. Trouble is, we've forgotten how. Enter Rudwulf, the Smiter. He alone knows how to save the human race. His reputation is that of an amoral mercenary who never fails. The perfect civil servant. No wonder he's in demand. Alas, his methods are unpopular. Even worse, the rulers desperate to employ him are unaware he's incompetent. If they ever find out, they'll kill him. Necessity compels Rudwulf to focus on survival. As a result, he hates his job and wishes he'd chosen a different profession. Too late now. Maybe, too late for everyone.
