Poke and the Titans” is Book 2 in MCM’s 12 Books, 12 Months write-athon; and graciously made-available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-ShareAlike 2.5 Canada copyright licence.

Unlike his prior fables The Pig in the Box and The Crow Who Could Fly, Poke of the Titans is NOT FOR KIDS.

When Andrew Carnegie’s flying locomotive deposits Archimedes the duck (and his telekinetic fish, Finley) in the vast Ohio desert, it is only the beginning of a long and torturous journey involving cannibalism, decapitation and social faux-pas. As his companions are brutally murdered in their hotel rooms each night, Archimedes must uncover the dark secret of the Titan Inn… before the killer strikes him as well!
