Malfunction – J.E. Purrazzi 


 

They Say the Ends Justify The Means

When Menrva, a geneticist in the subterranean city of survivors known as Bunker, responds to a call for help from Cowl, her former best friend, and Bas, a renegade cyborg, she makes a vital mistake and places all three of them in danger. As they struggle to escape City guards, cyborg soldiers, desperate scavengers, and ravenous aliens, they find in each other something they never expected: family.

During a battle, an attacking cyborg manages to overcome her programming just long enough to deliver a cryptic message. The trio is forced to decide if they will risk death - or worse, capture - to seek out the truth about the City, or if they will fight only for themselves.

This fast-paced, gritty first book of the Malfunction Trilogy introduces a future caught between destruction and oppression, where Menrva and her friends must decide if the ends justify the means.

Biography: I grew up on a steady diet of adventure both real and imagined. It was never quite enough. So what is a girl to do? The answer: live in a fantasy world. Whether it be in art or writing, I am always trying to live multiple lives at once. You can usually find me lost in a maze of thoughts, occasionally emerging for my full-time job as a Nanny and the common distractions of being a housewife, church member, and mama's girl. I live in sunny Florida where I never visit the beach and avoid going out of doors in summer. I am at my best huddling in the air conditioning with my genius of a husband, two too many cats, and gallons upon gallons of fish tanks while I spend hours being distracted instead of being creative.
