One More Score is a heartfelt novella that explores the meaning of friendship, the struggles of aging, and the lure of unfulfilled dreams. In a world where the average person can gain superpowers and reach the heights of fame and fortune, SafeCracker, an aging supervillain specializing in bank heists, must choose between lifelong friendship and the possibility of One More Score. With times changing and age slowing SafeCracker down, Gene, the supervillain's head henchman and friend of forty years, tries to convince his boss to retire, but a new team member has other plans. Carmella - young, ambitious, and attractive - fills SafeCracker's head with dreams of a comeback crime spree that threatens to ruin everything. This novella is set in a modern-day, alt-earth world in the Mystic Realms cosmos - a universe of settings united by fundamental energies that flow as unseen rivers of power giving rise to magic-use and super-science. Around the middle of the twentieth century, scientific advances changed the world. Humans split the atom, developed computers, created robotics, and cracked the genetic code. It was only a matter of time before people started applying this new science to improving the human body, and the first supers came into existence. Nowadays, being super is a big deal. Publishing contracts and movie deals can lead to fame and fortune.
