About the Book

He's lost everything. He drives alone. He can't help getting involved."What a stupid day."

When Manx steals something precious from the flatulating Immodium Jack, all hell breaks loose in a war between Momma Cat and the Ferals. A desert chase ensues, Manx teaming up with Rani Fluffiosa to protect the one item that can lead them to the last city and keep their litter safe.

But Manx is tormented by his past; by Tailcutter, and the death of his family. Torn between wandering the degrading roads and sands alone, or helping Momma Cat deal with furhawk bikers and the Ferals, Manx makes a shocking discovery in the desert, one that could change all their lives forever.


About the Author: George Gibson left the carwash and tried to be an actor, but he was thrown out of acting class for turning props into bongs, along with laughing at serious Shakespeare lines. He then tried coding but was annoyed at all the pointy haired bosses. Then he settled for writing fiction. "If everyone else can make sh*t up, then so can I." However his family laughed at his serious writing attempts. Despite the ridicule, George became a best seller for his funny original take on Mad Max, published by Contento. George always writes fun stuff for kids and adults, often rude, having been brought up in a down neighborhood where everybody swore their teeth off. "I also like water bombs, check out my other book on how to fold them properly. Water wars are great." As a kid he loved watching Black Adder, Mel Brooks, and Penn and Teller (while coding OpenGL gesture-control quaternions for his Millennium Falcon Wookiee bomb game (the Wookiees are the bombs)), but he somehow missed all the toilet humor and puns. "I had some catching up to do," He said. "I wrote Mad Manx from the heart, with some of my street humor thrown in for good measure. Everyone I know laughs their pants off. I love to write funny stuff here and there. You should see all the funny comments in the code I wrote for a big evil tech company I worked for in Santa Clara (that drove us around in a big white bus (we called the Can, and raced against the Facebus (Big Blue)). There was always an opportunity for a funny line or two between the structs, enums, and functions. To this day the PHBs have no idea." Now back at the carwash, which George labels as an honest living away from stupid overpaid middle managers, he still jokes and sings a lewd line or two, and his buddies affectionately call him the Waxing Lyricist.
