Synopsis

When stories break down, you send in the Genrenauts!

Struggling stand-up comic Leah Tang is offered a once-in-a-lifetime chance to join the Genrenauts, a secret organization of dimensional travelers. Leah learns that our world is just one of many, and every other world is the home of a story genre — Science Fiction or Romance, Fantasy or Western — populated by archetypal characters and constantly playing out familiar stories.

The Genrenauts’ mission: find and fix broken stories. If they fail, the ripples from the story worlds will cause havoc and devastation on their home world.

Leah joins the team and dives head-first into the adventure. But the stories are breaking faster and worse than ever before. Will Leah rise to the occasion, or will she end up as just another broken story?

An adventure science fiction series for all fans of Leverage, Quantum Leap, or Redshirts!

Contains all six novellas from Season One of Genrenauts:

The Shootout Solution The Absconded Ambassador The Cupid Reconciliation The Substitute Sleuth The Failed Fellowship (Part 1 & 2)

About this title

Review

"My favorite new TV show of 2015 isn't on TV, it's in the pages of Mike Underwood's Genrenauts. Deeply funny and creative, shrewdly insightful, and thrillingly paced, every pop culture diehard will want to keep living vicariously through the characters in this series." - Matt Wallace, author of the Slingers Saga and Envy of Angels "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. Hit, and Wake of Vultures (as Lila Bowen) "A wonderfully executed idea that uses the strengths and background of the writer to great effect... An excellent start to an exciting series, and another highlight of Tor's novella program." - Paul Weimer, SF Signal "I have this sinking feeling that the Genrenauts series, with its raucous meta-commentary upon the stories of pop culture, is going to say important things that I might not be clever enough to catch the first time around because I'm too busy enjoying the books." - Howard Tayler, Hugo Award winner and creator of Schlock Mercenary ·"This is fun...Readers will be looking forward to Leah and company's next trip to a story world." -Library Journal "The entire book is just FUN" -Page Turners Inc. "The concept of Genrenauts is awesome." -The Book Plank "The Genrenauts are the literary equivalent of The A-Team by way of Star Trek, Quantum Leap-ing their way through alternate dimensions defined entirely by genre tropes." -Michael Patrick Hicks
