Anger Management

Anger Management

Washed up actor Ben "Coop" Cooper was injected with an experimental alien virus that saved his life, erased years of alcohol abuse from his liver, and made him thirty years younger.

It also created Dyrk, the secondary personality living in his head who believes himself to be an action hero.

Together, Coop and Dyrk saved Titan from the Box, a race of machine intelligences. Along the way, they rescued the source of the virus, the lifeform named Potato.

It’s not over until the alien that could cure everything sings…

The Box have returned to Titan, sending a squad of killer robot avatars to retrieve Potato, their most holy of objects. They also want Dr. Acorns, the researcher who created the experimental virus.

They'll take her dead or alive. For a machine intelligence bent on revenge, they’re not picky.

Tycho, a braindead, comatose teenager who was also part of Acorns’ experiment, has woken up.

The lights are on, but no one's home. She's operating on instincts and reflexes honed from exposure to thousands of hours of post-apocalyptic war movies, leaving her a zombie killing machine. Her only hope lies with Coop and Dyrk.

Coop and Dyrk must find a way to defeat the Box, save Jess, and restore Tycho. It’s a lot for one man and his splinter personality, but they’re not without allies.

Will the assistance of an alien crime boss with a vendetta against the Box hinder or harm them?

About Brian Thorne

I was 12 and sitting up in a tree in Colorado. I had a copy of Dragons of Autumn Twilight in my hands and I was at peace. Thank you Weis, Hickman, and every other author of fantasy and sci-fi that I have encountered since!

I loved stories then and I still do. Now I hope to provide some of that joy and escapism to readers of my own. Thank you for joining me on this journey!
