Claus Boxed Set (Vol. 2): A Science Fiction Holiday Adventure - Paperback

by Tony Bertauski (Author)

Three twisted tales. One unforgettable holiday reckoning.

This second volume in the Claus Universe saga dives deeper into a near-future world where Christmas myths collide with artificial intelligence, lost legends, and the haunting weight of legacy.

In Humbug: The Unwinding of Ebenezer Scrooge, a reclusive tech billionaire is forced to face the ghost of his past. Literally. When Jacob Marley uploads his consciousness before death, he sets off a surreal Christmas Eve intervention, complete with malfunctioning androids, orphaned twins, and a house that won't stop singing. Scrooge has the world at his feet... but he's about to find out what he's truly missing.

Claus: Rise of the Miser follows a grieving girl and her father to a tropical island retreat that's not what it seems. When their mysterious host's plan to revive the most iconic figure of the holiday season spins out of control, they're caught in a battle over memory, meaning, and who Christmas really belongs to.

In Ronin: The Last Reindeer, a runaway teen is dropped into a glitzy, surveillance-heavy holiday resort where nothing is real, and everything is at stake. As ancient powers awaken and the cameras close in, he must choose between becoming a pawn in someone else's story or rewriting his own.

Slick, subversive, and emotionally charged, this boxed set is perfect for fans of A Christmas Carol-if it were written by a futurist with a sharp tongue and a broken heart.
