the bad guys
try to save the world
Death to Osiris
It is 2081, and the world is broken beyond repair. The ocean is full of garbage, the political climate is just as temperamental as the environmental climate, art has all but died, and an unforeseen war has only recently slowed its deathly tempo. Amidst this madness, a gang forms. It starts with the simple idea to take down a music company for personal reasons, but as more and more people are added into the mix, its goals become to take down a plethora of companies. Among the cast of terrorists is a man with supernatural gifts who is certain the world will end if the global monopoly Osiris International isn't destroyed. His friends assure him the feat is impossible.

HOVER FOR SENSITIVITY WARNING
I will be blunt for the benefit of any potential readers who may have issues with characters who are "problematic": this book is about "the bad guys". Most of them start "bad" and most of them end "bad". The Muslims, Christians, Wiccans, etc. in the cast are not representative of real life people with those same faiths/beliefs. This is a group of horrible people doing horrible things only sometimes for the right reasons. If seeing a member of a marginalized group or specific faith acting unforgivably might upset you, proceed with caution.
