In this debut novel, acclaimed short-story author Tim Pratt delivers an exciting

heroine with a hidden talent-and a secret duty. Witty and suspenseful, here is a

contemporary love song to the West that was won and the myths that shape us. . . .

As

night manager of Santa Cruz's quirkiest coffeehouse, Marzi McCarty makes a mean espresso,

but her first love is making comics. Her claim to fame- The Strange Adventures of

Rangergirl, a cowpunk neo-western yarn. Striding through an urban frontier peopled

by Marzi's wild imagination, Rangergirl doles out her own brand of justice. But lately

Marzi's imagination seems to be altering her reality. She's seeing the world through

Rangergirl's eyes-literally-complete with her deadly nemesis, the Outlaw.

It all

started when Marzi opened a hidden door in the coffeehouse storage room. There, imprisoned

among the supplies, she saw the face of something unknown . . . and dangerous. And she

unwittingly became its guard. But some primal darkness must've escaped, because Marzi

hasn't been the same since. And neither have her customers, who are acting downright

apocalyptic.

Now it's up to Marzi to stop this supervillainous superforce that's

swaggered its way into her world. For Marzi, it's theshowdown of her life. For

Rangergirl, it's just another day. . . .
