Thought I’d bring your attention to a wonderful local storyteller, a feller who resides right here in Atlanta, Georgia. EM Lockaby just completed his second novel and I must say I found it to be a fantastic read.
The Infinite Lawman is a science-fiction, LitRPG, western novel set in a dystopian future where people wind up with their minds uploaded to simulations, thus, the western aspect of this is a simulated wild west where a Speedrunner encounters this retired Lawman of sorts and in a roundabout way enlists his help in achieving her aim.
This novel is full of action, wit, and surprises and is a well-written, thought-provoking work that comes with all of the grit and dirt you’d expect of a western and the mud you’d hope to find in a simulated western world as well as giving a fascinating glimpse into a future with all its splendors and pitfalls.
The narrative style is as easy-going as if you were listening to the tale being told while you’ve got your feet kicked up on the rocks of a fire pit in the middle of nowhere, flames slowly warming the soles of your boots, stars twinkling overhead, crickets chirping, the story drawled out casually and punctuated by intermittent spitting and frequent swigs of whiskey.
I highly recommend you give this novel a shot. Thanks for listening. Peace.
