  • About This Novel

    Playing for Keeps was delivered via podcast in audio and PDF form and is now available in print from Swarm Press. It tells the story of Keepsie Branson, a bar owner in the shining metropolis of Seventh City: birthplace of super powers. Keepsie and her friends live among egotistical heroes and manipulative villains, and manage to fall directly in the middle as people with powers, but who just aren't strong enough to make a difference. Or that's what they've been told. As the city begins to melt down, it's hard to tell who are the good guys and who are the bad.

Stories of the Third Wave #12 - Gestalt

JC Hutchins is the author of the trilogy of podcast novels, 7th Son and the host of the Ultra Creatives Podcast. (Not to mention the brain behind Obsidian, his own anthology which I took part in.) His books 7th Son Book One, Descent, and Personal Effects: Dark Art will come out in in print in 2009. He is a tireless podcaster, amazingly creative, and it was an honor to have him write the first bit of fiction for Stories of the Third Wave. I bring you the amazing short story, Gestalt.

    Pure Awesomeness! I’m finally catching up on all the podcast content from you and Mur during the month of August and this has to be the best of the lot. Holy crap, what a good story. All the things we love about JC thrown into Mur’s awesome superhero universe. I’ve enjoyed the other “Stories of the 3rd Wave” content, but this story seamlessly ties a new, ominous villain/anti-villain into the existing fabric of Seventh City that Mur so masterfully created. You have to cheer for Gestalt doing the wrong things for the right reasons, especially when the “tourist” hero shows up, and especially when the other heroes join in. What a perfect ending. When do we get more from Gestalt?
