Adam did what he had to do to save his friend Tidus, but in doing so, his secret leaked out. Instead of being known simply as The Human, he's been exposed as the famous Adam Cain, the person who died and was brought back to life by the mutants Panur and Lila.

And they'll do anything to get it . . . even if they have to kill Adam Cain in the process.

When an unsuspecting reader opens a simple paperback, he discovers bizarre phrases that seem to describe humans casually removing eyes, hands, and limbs as if it were nothing.

Spreadsheets are spells. Dragons are unionized. Nachos are a sacrament. Buckle up. When actuary Ptolemy “Tolly” Blackthorne inherits his grandmother’s scarf—a knitted, contraband probability anchor—he also inherits her secret: a multi-dimensional dragon-racing circuit that runs on risk, wit, and a frankly alarming amount of nacho cheese. Tolly’s talent for modeling disaster was supposed to keep him safe; instead it drafts him into a portal-hopping season where vertical Niagara roars upward, magma judges enforce “Fun is mandatory,” and Mars rovers form a picket line for better dental.

Normally, it doesn't take a lot to piss off Adam Cain (AKA: The Human). That's why 'Collateral Damage' is his middle name. But occasionally, something happens that pushes him over the edge. And in that case, there isn't a place in the galaxy where you're safe. In I Am Entropy, Adam brings chaos to order, an order that never should have existed in the first place. All pretense of civility is gone. And now the damage isn't so much collateral as it is intentional. Worlds will crumble when Entropy knocks on the door.

What starts as a simple rescue mission spirals into a chaotic adventure of shootouts, shenanigans, and shadowy conspiracies.
