The Punch Escrow

"An alt-futuristic hard-science thriller with twists and turns you'll never see coming. I couldn't put it down." â€”Felicia Day, founder of Geek & Sundry

Itâ€™s the year 2147. Advancements in nanotechnology have enabled us to control aging. Weâ€™ve genetically engineered mosquitoes to feast on carbon fumes instead of blood, ending air pollution. And teleportation has become the ideal mode of transportation, offered exclusively by International Transportâ€”a secretive firm headquartered in New York City. Their slogan: Departure... Arrival... Delight!

Joel Byram, our smartass protagonist, is an everyday twenty-fifth century guy. He spends his days training artificial-intelligence engines to act more human, jamming out to 1980â€™s new waveâ€”an extremely obscure genre, and trying to salvage his deteriorating marriage. Joel is pretty much an everyday guy with everyday problemsâ€”until heâ€™s accidentally duplicated while teleporting.

Now Joel must outsmart the shadowy organization that controls teleportation, outrun the religious sect out to destroy it, and find a way to get back to the woman he loves in a world that now has two of him.
