Showing results for "The Crocodile" in Science Fiction

Set in the post-martial-law era of late-1980s Taipei, Notes of a Crocodile is a coming-of-age story of queer misfits discovering love, friendship, and artistic affinity while hardly studying at Taiwan's most prestigious university. Told through the eyes of an anonymous lesbian narrator nicknamed Lazi, this cult classic is a postmodern pastiche of diaries, vignettes, mash notes, aphorisms, exegesis, and satire by an incisive prose stylist and major countercultural figure.

London, 2095. The world drowned. The system broke. And people became property. Enslaved and microchipped, Alexander Lytton survived by creating the perfect mask: blank, obedient, invisible. Behind it, he was safe. One slip, and he was dead. Until his master is murdered, and Alex becomes the prime suspect. Detective Josiah Raine hasn't touched another man since his husband's brutal murder seven years ago. He's a ghost investigating ghosts, running on empty, barely holding himself together.

Giant crocodiles exist—the man-eating Kaiju of the real world. Dr. Jennings plans on capturing one alive. Accompanied by a squad of hired mercs and an anti-poaching unit on loan from the local government, she sets out to locate and trap Tuwile, rumored to be the largest giant croc alive. Of course, things never go as planned....

The crocodile is a killer. They are feared by many. And are gentle in many ways. They appear to sleep. But are waiting to eat their prey.
