The Shootout Solution: Genrenauts Episode 1 (Genrenauts, 1) - Softcover

Leverage meets Jasper Fforde in this new series of novellas from the fan-favorite author of Geekomancy.

Fantasy. Mystery. Science Fiction. We know these genres from TV and comics and more, but in Genrenauts, each genre is also a world unto itself, populated with archetypal characters and filled with the tropes we all know and love.

When a story goes-off track, you send in the Genrenauts. This team of narrative specialists travels across dimensions to find, evaluate, and fix broken stories, lest the ripples manifest as violence and upheaval in our own world. 

Struggling stand-up comic Leah Tang is offered a once-in-a-lifetime chance to join the Genreauts as they head to the Western world to stop a bandit posse on the rampage.

But the Western's hero isn't interested in winning, and the safety of Earth hangs in the balance...
PRAISE FOR THE SHOOTOUT SOLUTION
"Who hasn't wanted to imagine themselves parachuting into a story gone wrong and putting it back on track? It's storytelling as heroism, genre savviness as power. Endless fun. Catnip for genre geeks."
― Marie Brennan, World Fantasy nominated author of A Natural History of Dragons
"A clever, exciting, and seriously fun twist on portal fantasy that sends a geeky stand-up comedian into the Wild West. Sign me up to be a Genrenaut, too!"
―Delilah S. Dawson, author of the Blud series and Hit
