Sometimes a college student actually has more to worry about than if they get their papers in on time, whether their prof loves them or how well they did on an exam. For example. Ravirn's got his mid-terms at the University of Minnesota to ace so his grandmother won't cut off the school funds, but a bigger problem as well. Stopping his great-aunt Atropos from destroying the fabric of the universe.
Oh, didn't you know? Poor Ravirn's got a swell bunch of relatives -- the Fates, assorted cousins including the beauteous Cerice he's had a crush on for centuries. And as all good super-heroes, a sidekick in the form of a webgoblin, Melchior. I want a laptop who performs at my EVERY command! But most of all, Ravirn has a talent for hacking. He can hack into anything, even the complex networks and scripts created by the various gods and goddesses like the Fate Core. So when Atropos decides to shut down humankind's free will, Ravirn and Melchior leave the academic life behind to hack into the biggest system around to stop her program from implementing.
WEBMAGE is an exciting debut novel by Kelly McCullough and engages the reader from the first paragraph with intricate weaving of logical computer lingo and mythology we've learned over the ages. Meeting the various gods as hotshot programmers will make many a technophile a very happy camper, uh, reader.
