A BETTER PARADISE NOVEL COMING OCTOBER 14. PREORDER NOW.

The cover for the A BETTER PARADISE Volume One: An Aftermath Novel

Set in the near future, A BETTER PARADISE Volume One: An Aftermath tells the story of the ill-fated development of an ambitious but addictive video game project that goes very wrong. As the software they developed starts to produce unexpected and disturbing results, the project is shut down and left abandoned and undiscovered. Until now.

Adapted from the chart-topping A BETTER PARADISE audio fiction series, the novel will go deeper into the origins and secrets of the mysterious Tyburn Utopias video game project - as told by the tortured souls now on the run from the AI entity they played a part in creating and unleashing.

“At its heart, this is a mythological story about video game development. I have always felt this is fascinating source material for narrative fiction and am finally getting the opportunity to explore it with A Better Paradise Volume One: An Aftermath.” – Dan Houser

A BETTER PARADISE Volume One: An Aftermath is coming October 14 and is available to preorder now.
