When it was first published on the legendary USENET newsgroup rec.arts.comics.creative, Tom Russell's JOLT CITY took home the coveted Best Acra Series RACCie two years in a row. Now, the best superhero fiction on the internet has become the best superhero novel on your bookshelf. When Jolt City's sworn protector the Green Knight falls ill with cancer, his former sidekick Martin Rock embarks on a journey: from self-reliance to friendship, from pain to peace, from anger to joy. Along the way, he'll fight a jousting match on a unicycle, team up with a super-speedster, visit an alternate earth populated by talking snails, fight some costumed criminals and thwart an invasion.

In the second "Orphans of Mars" adventure, the Daughters of Earth Colony are hunted by a cold-blooded bounty hunter from the frozen moon Titan. While she hunts the Daughters, she is herself hunted by the oathbreaker Quasha and the assassin Danalee. Meanwhile, armed with a tracking device, Nerrine seeks out the old rex alone so that she might "bell the cat", only to find that other terrors lurk in the sky and beneath the sea. Ress comes of age, spending a night in the raptor-mad wilderness, and plans her revenge against Nerrine. Plots and perils, secrets and seduction, vengeance and sacrifice all come together in a violent and startling climax.

Through brutal tactics and aggressive terraforming, the Daughters of Mars had driven their parent species to the brink of extinction; the iron oxide bomb did the rest. Orphans by their own hands, masters of a dead planet, and sterile from birth, they now turn their intellects-- vast, cool, and unsympathetic-- towards other planets, in search of some strange new destiny. In recognition of their valiant service during the Genetics War, the Imperatrix and her Sisters of Battle are assigned the nearest fertile planet. But sixty-five million years in our past, the dinosaur-dominated Earth proves to be far from the paradise they were promised, and natives have no use for honor and glory. After the first day, only twelve Daughters remain... Among that number are brave Jarissy; sly assassin Danalee; ambitious and seething Quasha; the mysterious Petara; the manipulative sociopath Ress; and the beautiful Nerrine, who is far stronger, and more dangerous, than anyone knows.
