""With Tracer, Brendan Deneen brings serious game to both the thriller and dystopian genres--giving us complex and relatable characters in a story about an all-too-possible dark future. Even in the most terrifying darkness, Deneen kindles the fires of hope. Highly recommended."" -- ""Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of NecroTek and Burn to Shine"" ""Tracer is an action-packed adventure that asks us to imagine rising from the trash to create a better world. Full of memorable characters and a tension-fueled plot of deceit and danger, this is a story worth reading for any fan of near-future dystopias."" -- ""Chris Kluwe, author, activist, and former NFL player"" ""The lifeblood of the world of Deneen's Tracer is recycled waste, but this story is anything but a regurgitation. Smart characters, top-notch world-building, and ferocious action scenes combine to take us on a wild ride through a thrilling, noir-tinged, rubbish-strewn future."" -- ""David Moody, author of Hater and Autumn"" ""In a city where plastic is the new gold, Tracer blends gritty postapocalyptic action with heart-pounding romance as one woman's lethal skills are tested against the darkest secrets of humanity's desperate new civilization."" -- ""Nicholas Sansbury Smith, New York Times bestselling author of Hell Divers"" ""Tracer is a compelling love story, set in a ravaged future full of stunning violence, where only hope and real human emotion have a chance to save humanity."" -- ""Kristin Hannah, #1 New York Times bestselling author"" ""Brendan Deneen's Tracer slams you into the passenger seat of a '72 Dodge Dart and sends you on a frenetic, action-packed ride through a trash-filled, dystopic wasteland with a badass femme fatale at the wheel. Hold on!"" -- ""A. G. Rodriguez, author of Space Brooms!"" ""Brendan Deneen's sleek, fast, near-future noir Tracer is a shotgun marriage of Philip K. Dick and Elmore Leonard. At the center of this mordant, Day-Glo actioner is the adopted heroine--the eponymous badass, smart-mouth Tracer--daughter and muscle for the leader of a dystopian outpost of Old Los Angeles. But what's discovered underneath this dung heap of a city makes Chinatown feel like a sappy episode of Matlock. Highly recommended!"" -- ""Jay Bonansinga, New York Times bestselling author of The Killer's Game and The Walking Dead: Return to Woodbury""
