The Combat Poets of Maya
by Bill Johnson
Category: Fiction

The Combat Poets of Maya have had enough of the MiliTechs, bureaucrats genetically designed to manage the poets' chaotic lives. When the bureaucrats try to use an alien poet to force the combat poets to accept living under their control, the poets enlist the aid of a female warrior to set in motion a daring plan that will permanently end the reign of the bureaucrats. The Combat Poets of Maya is a tongue-in-cheek novel in the vein of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, with characters equally in conflict with rigged poetry reading lists, angry ratacats, and a fate imposed on them by genetic engineering.
