Joshua Ortega self-published this book a few years ago, though there’s now another edition published by someone that is not himself. I found it in a stack at Elliott Bay books and bought it on impulse (like I do most my books). It took me a long time to read it. He wrote the book in some sort of future made up l33t-speak, so it’s really hard to tell what’s going on. Mr. Ortega seems like a nice guy. I’ve spoken with him a couple of times at his booths at Northwest Bookfest. He once told me there were two sequels to the book planned. But I don’t think this sold well enough to ever justify publishing those. My view of it is that he tried to hard and the book just isn’t ready for prime time.
