Frank Peniston-Welvin's most overprepared, underqualified vigilante-is back. This time, he's touring the local pencil factory. But something smells off. And it's not just the eraser rubber.
When a routine guided tour turns into a high-stakes graphite conspiracy, Frank uncovers Project Scriber-a corporate plan to embed smart surveillance tech inside school pencils. The deeper he digs, the wilder it gets: biometric scanners, sentient algorithms, deadly Scantrons, and a mysterious woman who knows how to handle a No. 2.
Armed with nothing but an infinite-clip Glock, a duct-taped gadget belt, and an unquenchable thirst for Full Throttle, Frank must infiltrate the pencil prototype wing, take down a rogue AI, and survive another obscenely metaphorical 69 scene-all while battling the most painful kidney stone of his life.
From the warped mind of Frankfort Petersén comes a brutal, hilarious, and deeply stupid mystery-thriller that dares to ask:
What if your pencils were listening?
And what if the man trying to stop them was absolutely not okay?
