Book Description

Rounding Down

The Bo Degas Bandit Is Dead.

The plan was simple: deep fake a few robbery videos to force the abusive father of a trans teen out of his position as head of the family’s oddball chain of security-crazy, conspiracy-supported, cash-only convenience stores. But when rivals smell blood in the water, revolution spills into the streets as copycat robberies split an already culturally divided nation that is literally burning to the ground from coast to coast in this pre-apocalyptic thriller that will leave you guessing.
