Book Description
The world of Tectonic is dying. A mysterious disease known as Rockflesh is rapidly spreading throughout the lands, turning men into monsters. Humanity seeks answers in an existence that's barely surviving. At the base of such mysteries lies The Chain, a massive construct that holds the world suspended above the Void. Some believe the Creator holds the end of the anomaly. Others doubt. Liam, a mercenary leading a small group of warriors, is hired to take a stranger named Rezin to The Chain. The task is daunting and surrounded by questions, but these are desperate times. When their journey begins, a rumor of a madman spreads-a man named Desmond who seeks to destroy The Chain and plunge the world into the Void below. As Liam and his small group battle through the nightmare-plagued lands, the answers to Tectonic's mysteries begin to unravel. Who is Desmond? Why is he so hellbent on severing the world from its stem? What caused the disease known as Rockflesh? And what's really up there, past The Chain, beyond the rolling ceiling of cloud?

Book Description
Everything was about to change. In less than forty-eight hours guy'd be taking the stage in Vancouver, owning an audience meant for some all-hype-no-talent young-money rapper, spitting next-level truths that'd have A&Rs scrapping for him coast to coast. He'd ink some paper and drop an album on the world it didn't even know it had been waiting for. All with game and swag to spare. This was the edge, the almost there, and we knew it. Chinksta rap is all the rage in small-town Alberta. And the king of Chinksta is King Kwong, high-schooler Run's older brother. Run isn't a fan of Kwong's music—or personality, really. But when Kwong goes missing the night before his crowning performance and his mom gets wounded in crossfire, Run finds himself, with his sidekick, Ali, in the middle of a violent battle between rival Chinese rap gangs, on the run from his crush's behemoth brother, and rethinking his feelings about his family and their history, his hatred of "rice-rap," and what it means to be Asian. With imaginAsian and a flair for the rap lyric, Jon Chan Simpson mashes up the (graphicless) graphic novel and the second-generation-immigrant narrative to forge a bold new vision of what the novel can be. Jonathan Chan Simpson grew up in Red Deer, Alberta, and lives in Toronto, Ontario. He is a graduate of the University of Toronto's MA creative writing program, and his work has been featured in Ricepaper magazine.
