Qoser is an assassin from planet Japan, capable of peeling flesh from bone and creating quenchless rips from one universe through to another, he thinks of this other universe as ‘The Doom Magnetic’.
In search of a man named Mungden, Qoser and his troop of mopes enter a bar in the town of Chorizo, Nevada. Casting his eyes around - cueball and all, he begins asking the patrons of Crunchy Saloon if they know where Mungden is, only to be met with staunch silence. This displeases him greatly…

Mungden has stolen an artefact known as The Purple Television from the Japanese Government and Qoser has been tasked with its return due to his unique skillset. He will find Mungden and The Purple Television if it’s the last thing he does.
Of course, being William Pauley III I expected this to be weird as all hell off the bat and it was. Horrifying, gory and a wild ride, this is a surreal, futuristic and dystopian tale with some amazing characters and a fast paced, compelling plot. It made me laugh in places due to the absurdity of it all, but I like that about it, it’s unapologetically peculiar and fun. All of his books are reasonably short, but they fit in such a lot of action in the space, really entertaining reads. This wasn’t necessarily my favourite from this author, but still excellent.
Perfectly voiced by Connor Brannigan, he has a wonderful range of character voices and is fantastic at building atmosphere with his tone.
