Marie Antoinette's Watch
Summary
"Marie Antoinette's Watch is a wonderful book." - William Gibson, author of Neuromancer Across continents and into and out of the hands of royalty, revolutionaries, smugglers, thieves, and the world's greatest tech engineers, was Marie Antoinette's watch, the "160" worth an estimated $40 million in today's dollars. Perhaps the most sought after personal technology device of the last 200 years, the timepiece, designed by the legendary Abraham-Louis Breguet, is the launching point for a thrilling and fluidly woven set of narratives that are, in part, forbidden love story, historical document, and police procedural. Marie Antoinette's Watch also deftly lays out the history of horology and the 18th Century engineering feats attained in Paris's answer to Silicon Valley, the Ile de la Cite, that made the watch the most intricate and prized personal device of its time - something that's come full circle today. In the hands of Techcrunch's East Coast Editor, John Biggs, Marie Antoinette's Watch is by turns edifying and lurid, historical and utterly modern. Culminating in a heist in a Tel Aviv antiquities museum in the 1980s, Biggs tells the story of how one object can transform countries, cultures, high technology, and time itself.

China Girl
Summary
China Girl spins a tale of a far-right Trumplandian dystopia. This new thriller asks “what if?” in an explosive story. A fascist administration rounds up undesirables. Terrorist groups strike governmental and religious targets. The constitution is under assault. Erec Stebbins’s China Girl is a controversial look at an America that is all too close to reality, radioactive in its timely examination of extremism in the nation. China Girl is a political techno-thriller with international and crime elements, very topical to current events, touching on biotechnology, anti-democratic movements, and the rights of marginalized groups (especially immigrants) in Western societies. It picks up four years after the election of white nationalist and demagogue Daniel Suite. Deep State operatives and domestic terrorists battle to thwart an increasingly genocidal regime hell-bent on “whitewashing” America through ethnic cleansing by any means necessary. "A fascinating, action-packed adventure...explores the dangerous ramifications of persecution and marginalization through a wide variety of well-rounded, thought-provoking characters...will have every reader taking a step back to consider the far-reaching implications of our current political, cultural, and national climate." (Manhattan Book Review) “A monster new talent in the thriller genre...” (Allan Leverone, author of Final Vector and The Lonely Mile)
