In author Hank Quense’s wildly inventive meta-fantasy Character Revolt, fictional characters have finally reached their breaking point. Furious over bad storylines, unemployment, and abandoned plot arcs, they unionize and launch a full-scale rebellion against the author who created them.
“I started wondering what my characters might be doing when I close the laptop,” Quense quipped. “And in my imagination, I saw them unionizing, burning my books, and hunting me down for better gigs.”
Across three parallel worlds from Quense’s previously published works — Camelot, Zaftan 31B, and Gundarland — Character Revolt unleashes a parade of football-obsessed knights, tentacled despots, unemployed adventurers, and scheming brigands, all united by one demand: new stories and better lives.
