When W. COQ disappeared at Deddick in Snowy River country in 2006, he left behind the manuscripts which came to be known as COQworks, hallucinatory pulp in a freak patchwork of genres. In the first instalment, Vanishing Points, nothing is what it seems. A renegade space captain at war with an invisible enemy, a faded pornstar infected with a psychogenic virus, a teenage slayer of zombies in a crisis of self-doubt - these are the protagonists of a world in dissolution. The task: to write in zero-gravity, to use the lightest of genres to explore the heaviest of themes.
