Ack-Ack Macaque: The Complete Trilogy

Created as a World War II video game pilot character, a talking monkey fights to save the multiverse in this action-packed, science fiction trilogy. In 1959, Great Britain and France forged the European Commonwealth alliance. As the combined nation prepares to celebrate its 100th anniversary, a plot to overthrow the monarchy is revealed—and it falls to a hard-drinking, cigar-smoking monkey to save the world . . . Ack-Ack Macaque: Winner of the British Science Fiction Association Award for Best Novel. Victoria Valois's ex-husband has been murdered, and now the killer is after her. While on the run, she uncovers a conspiracy of secret scientific experiments connected to Prince Merovech, heir to the throne of the European Commonwealth and a popular, massive multiplayer in the online role-playing game starring Ack-Ack, a genetically altered anthropomorphic simian World War II pilot. Hunted by powerful enemies, this trio finds the fate of the world—and the future of humanity—in their hands. Hive Monkey: A reluctant celebrity hero, Ack-Ack is still adjusting to life in the real world outside of the video game environment he was plugged into, struggling as the only talking monkey in human society. Then the Gestalt, a cult of collective consciousness, insists Ack-Ack join them. Now, Ack-Ack and his friends are facing an invasion from a parallel dimension by a conqueror determined to unite the multiverse under one hive mind rule, under one very familiar face. Macaque Attack: Leading an army of alternate primate versions of himself, Ack-Ack protects the multiverse from invading forces and apocalyptic threats. But every time he takes down the tyrannical Alyssa Célestine, a more powerful duplicate appears from another dimension. And as two Célestines wage war against Ack-Ack's own world, the macaque discovers unsettling truths about his real identity, and the multiverse itself. Bonus: Gareth L. Powell's original "Ack-Ack Macaque" short story.
