Some parts of the secret service are more secret than others, and Department Z is among them. Now, its founder, Gordon Craigie; top agent Loftus; and their compatriots must face a mysterious international organization that has suddenly gained power and infiltrated the governments of several key global powers. It already has branches operating in at least seven countries and is believed to be responsible for past catastrophic events, including an assassination and a civil war—and is planting the seeds of anarchy once again. 
 
Working together with some foreign allies, they intend to unearth the mystery of “The Ring”—but their cooperation may not be enough to prevent calamity . . .

    The Algorithm That Ruled the World 
    What if the most powerful force on Earth wasn’t a government… but a prediction? 
    Alejandro Morales never meant to change the balance of power. 
    As a brilliant AI architect, he built Oracle—a cutting-edge artificial intelligence designed to predict global economic shifts with unmatched precision. His goal was simple: prevent crises, protect lives, and bring stability to a chaotic world. 
    But someone else had a different vision. 
    Hidden behind closed doors, a secret initiative—Project Leviathan—is using the algorithm to manipulate markets, destroy corporations, and control political systems before events even unfold. With predictive AI at their command, a powerful tech empire can rewrite reality itself. 
    When Alejandro refuses to become part of the machine, he becomes its next target. 
    Hunted, erased, and cut off from everything he once knew, he is forced into the shadows—where survival depends on outsmarting the very system he created. With the help of a disillusioned engineer, a relentless investigative journalist, and a rogue hacker, Alejandro races to expose a conspiracy that reaches into the highest levels of power. 
    But time is running out. 
    Because in a world driven by data… 
    the future isn’t discovered. 
     It’s decided.

    Rocky meets Elmore Leonard meets Miranda July as Pillow Wilson, a past-his-prime boxer, trains for his last title shot. Shenanigans ensue. 
    Boxer ‘Pillow Fist’ Pete Wilson should be preparing for his big comeback fight. But, having recently undergone an ethical awakening, the new vegan is busy trying to find humane new homes for his menagerie of exotic pets (including Jersey Joe the sloth and Rigoberto the shark). His roommate, Sherlock Holmes, who faked his own death by waterfall, is now Pillow’s in-house doping expert. 
    Pillow just can’t get motivated to train, and he’s further distracted from his push-ups when both his car and Rigoberto mysteriously disappear. Luckily, Sherlock is a master of deduction. What follows is part underdog sports story, part work of neozoological surrealism, and part existential mystery novel. 
    "Reckless, desperate, and achingly human, Battershill remains funnier than anyone else on your shelf." – Andrew F. Sullivan, author of The Marigold 
    "The adventures of Battershill’s returning protagonist Pillow are witty and occasionally absurd, but the story never trips on ironies. Battershill twines the humanity of pulp noir with the unsettling play of surrealism to build a world in which pet sloths, Sherlock Holmes, and skilled drug pushers all seem to have found their ideal home." – Naben Ruthnum, author of A Hero of Our Time 
    "Pillow Wilson is one of my favourite characters in CanLit, and he is in fine form in Pet, Pet, Slap, a deeply funny, inventive, bizarre, heartbreaker of a book. Andrew Battershill not only writes with that magical alchemy of humour and pathos that most writers only wish they could pull off, but he somehow also balances surrealism and profound humanity in a way I’m sure I’ll spend the rest of my life trying to figure out. I haven’t had this much fun reading in a long, long time." – Amy Jones, author of;Pebble & Dove
