This is an older cover of ASIN B01M0NZWPU Narcissist, sociopath, and shameless backstabber Jubal Van Zandt is the best damn thief in the history of the Revived Earth...and he won't shut up about it. But not everybody in the swampy, soggy, feudal future approves of Jubal's vocation. The Guild—the religious fanatics who helped rebuild civilization after the collapse—in particular are waiting for their opportunity to slip the noose around his neck. Which is why when the renowned Guild knight Carina Xiao—a.k.a. the Bloodslinger—contacts Jubal about an off-the-books job that violates Guild Law, he's too intrigued to say no. He is the best damn thief in the history of the Revived Earth, after all. Part bizarro ecopunk, part outworld thriller, part odd-couple roadtrip, Jubal Van Zandt & the Revenge of the Bloodslinger is a 150% futurepunk quest for blood and betrayal across the Revived Earth.

The best thief in the history of the Revived Earth is back, and this time it's personal. A deadly plague is ravaging the world's population and threatening to kill the only person Jubal Van Zandt cares about—himself. If he doesn't find a cure soon, he's dead. The most promising lead is buried in the ruins of an ancient sunken city stalked by savage predators, cunning parasites, and the twisted souls of long-dead mages. It would take an army to get Jubal inside ... or just one of the most renowned knights in Guild history. The one Jubal betrayed and left for dead eighteen months ago. First Jubal has to convince her not to kill him. Then he has to convince her to help save him.

The best thief in the history of the Revived Earth is on a literal deadline—find a cure for the plague or die—but when the universe drops the ultimate extortion fodder into his lap, what’s Jubal supposed to do, say no? Turns out Nick Beausoleil isn’t the perfect Guild knight in shining armor his fiancée thinks he is. Nickie-boy made a big mistake while Carina was in prison, and now he’s got a deep, dark secret he needs Jubal Van Zandt to help him cover up. The kind of deep, dark secret Jubal could use to destroy their relationship and disgrace the overly muscled meathead forever in Carina’s eyes.

Deadly glacial caves, murderous speleothems, and blazing flame spirits. Jubal Van Zandt is running out of time to find a cure for the plague. His only hope is the Garden of Time, where actual, physical time is grown and stored. Anything that can be stored can be stolen. For the greatest thief in the history of the Revived Earth to get his hands on a supply of extra time, he and Carina will have to fight their way across a treacherous ice cap, through an endless blizzard, and into a cave full of homicidal rock formations. But the biggest threat to their dynamic duo isn’t the immortal guardian waiting to destroy anyone who tries to make off with the Garden’s treasure. This time the greatest danger is a lot closer than Jubal wants to admit.

Cannibalistic witchdoctors, undead cyborgs, and giants who live forever. While Carina faces off with an army of Tects, the search for a cure takes Jubal Van Zandt and the candy knight halfway around the Revived Earth to Wasteside, a dead continent of black sand, flowing lava, and tribes of nomadic man-eaters. Jubal’s looking to learn the secret of the Forever People, but are the ingredients for immortality beyond the reach of the greatest thief in history?

“The heart-wrenching, brilliant, and breathtakingly gorgeous conclusion to the greatest story ever told…” - Jubal Van Zandt Jubal Van Zandt is out of time. The beautiful corpse plague is winning, slowly encasing him in a jeweled coffin for one. His last shot with Carina is slipping through his numbing fingers, and every enemy he’s made along the way is breathing down his neck. But the greatest thief in history isn’t ready to roll over and die just yet. Not while an unbreakable ultra-security prison needs breaking and an unkillable jungle hag needs killing. Together again for one last ride, Jubal and Carina will wade through the deadly cesspools of their pasts, cheat psychotic grudge-holding immortals, and run knuckguns blazing into the teeth of a rotting cyborg army. The thief and the knight are about to perpetrate their greatest betrayal yet, and this time Death is going to get the shaft.
