Revamped!
A Misadventure of Cosmic Proportions
by Brit Ray

Overview

In the comic-fantasy tradition of Terry Pratchett, Douglas Adams, and Jasper Fforde comes Book One of Brit Ray's REVAMPED!-- A Planet Heart Screwball Fantasy.  

Somewhere in the Abstraction Realm spins Planet Heart, where Super Humans and Only-Humans inhabit a parallel version of New York City. In the metropolis of New Broom, Veronique, the newly humanized Revamp, forms an unlikely alliance with Quantum Witch Aphra-Bane McCleary, as she fights off Vampires and searches for her missing paramour. Join the Wisdams and Physards of Heart as they take on the problems of the multiverse--and the multiprose.

Threading their way through this one-of-a-kind space opera are songs to sing, puzzles to solve, dimensions to explore, and ideas to build on. Throw your great brain into the mix.
