The Curious Case of Mr. Atwater
A Gay Gaslamp Fantasy Little Mermaid Retelling
Simon Argent finds joy in making people’s lives better through technology. As the world’s foremost Augmentor, he’s never let a client get under his skin. But Mr. Atwater isn’t like any other client.
Emrys Atwater is a Mer who traded his tail for human legs. But when the device that gave him freedom breaks, Emrys despairs. There is one source of hope, though. Simon Argent.
From the beginning, Simon can see that Emrys’s exoskeleton is beyond repair. The mysterious Dr. Johns, who created, it has disappeared, and Emrys is hiding something.
From the augmentation office to airships, and the sandy beaches below, Simon will need all his wits, and all his allies with him. As old betrayals become new, Dr. Johns finds the escaped Mer, and Simon runs out of time. Because Dr. Johns is a man bent on revenge and he has nothing to lose, and Simon has everything to fight for.
Can Simon do the impossible for Emrys? Or will he be undone by the Curious Case of Mr. Atwater?
