Five hundred years into the future, Sam (the government of Merka) has covered nearly two billion acres of open land with white tarp to fight global warming. El Paladino is charged with protecting the tarp from those “cutters” who might tear up pieces to plant a garden, dig a well, or bury a body. Judge, jury, and executioner, the Paladino’s motto is “You cut the Tarp, you die.”
The Paladino’s other remit is to prevent the use of forbidden tech from previous times, which is how he came to battle el Gotico, a bandit who had discovered a cache of “oldie times” high-tech weapons.
After taking down el Gotico, the Paladino has a mind to see his family. His friends Marie and Moira decide to accompany him home. But an encounter with a gang of human traffickers soon turns into a quest for vengeance.
The Paladino and his amigas pursue the banditos into realms undreamed-of by any of them, including a vast swath of untarped land inhabited by secretive Natives and a sprawling, armed compound rife with forbidden technology and disturbing secrets.
Will the Paladino make peace with the Natives to take on the technologically advanced teams of the Wells compound, and will he make it home in time to save his poisoned son?
Who is this guy?
Rev DiCerto is a writer and musician. He is the author of a number of novels in the fantasy, urban fantasy, science fiction, and steampunk genres. He has published numerous short stories in a variety of science fiction and fantasy anthologies.
Rev’s most recent novel is Peril and Preternaturalism, a tale of the clever but misguided (if not outright evil) Doctor Daniel Hobbes. The second volume in the Preternaturalism series, this book sees Dr. Hobbes investigating a number of fantastical creatures across the globe, from the frozen mountains of Nepal to the depths of the North Atlantic. In his pursuit of scientific knowledge, Dr. Hobbes shows little consideration or regard for those around him, not minding who or what is destroyed or harmed so long as his science–and his reputation–flourishes.
Rev has also published Marshal Gallagher and Fire Aloft–the latter written with co-author Duncan Eagleson–in the Age of Invention series, of which more books are slated to be released.
If you’re looking for something darker and more serious, check out El Paladino. In this tale of a dystopian future of uncontrolled global warming, El Paladino chases down a bloodthirsty bandito whose depredations threaten the Tarp that might just be humanity’s last hope. But to succeed in his mission, El Paladino must team up with a mysterious pistolero whom he does not trust. A sequel to El Paladino will be available soon.
