Hunting Mr. Old Sack Bones

Casper bent herself over the hood of my car.
When she looked back and I read the pity in her immortal eyes, I took the consolation prize Casper offered me. I took it with all the violence and spite I could muster in the name of all the suckers everywhere, doomed to die on this rock.

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0053DU8L0
A Post-Cyberpunk Sci-Fi Thriller of the late 21st century. 285 pages.
Bonnie is Operator 388, an undercover counter-insurgent for the Security Services of the Global Secular Alliance, the late-21st century, world government that united the nations of the world by banning all religion, offering in its place a garish world of technology and narcotic-fueled hedonism.
Bonnie is sent by the Director to infiltrate the fractured, faith-based militant groups that rose to fight the G.S.A. Her mission: capture an insurgent recruiter known as the Buddha.
To complete her mission, Bonnie is forced to sign on as a merc along with Casper, a perpetually stoned car thief, Hi-5, the megastar Queen of PornoPop, La Cazadora, a murderous, bitter, White Sunday insurgent, and a team of mercenary hackers called The Dark. They are hired for a spectacular assault on the G.S.A.'s own Ziggurat stronghold in which Bonnie will have to betray her new teammates if she wants to prove her loyalty to the Security Services.
STITCH: All Three Novellas in the Stitch Series
http://www.amazon.com/STITCH-Three-Books-Stitch-ebook/dp/B0077D9D06
Here is the complete science fantasy series in a single volume – from Molly's first kill to the End of the World. 351 pages.
The Bone Blade Girl (Stitch: Book One)
Molly is a waif from the ruin-filled wilds with blood on her hands. She meets Vora, a Stitchlife gene-witch who has run away from the ruling, post-human nobles and stolen a witchery powerful enough to lift the world out of the dark ages or destroy it once again. Molly joins the renegade witch and she quickly learns that changing the face of the world will require sacrifice. For some, that sacrifice will be to die. Molly's sacrifice will be to become the witch-sped, whirlwind blade that kills them.
The Fall of the Haunted City (Stitch: Book Two)
Molly learns to rule with her speed and her blade, and the people of the Haunted City fear her. Worse, the nobles are coming: Vargas Hale and his witch-sped kin ride North to make war and take the new city for their own. Molly finds unlikely allies in the war against the merry Hales: vengeful Walton blades, a Populist guerrilla, and an ancient creature made by the first Stitchlife Witch. Molly is drawn deeper into the dark side of power and must stain her hands with the blood of enemies and allies alike.
The Stitchlife Rebellion (Stitch: Book Three)
Molly, Teddy Da, the Populist Army, and a coven of rebel Stitchlife Witches ride the winds of war against the nobles. There is no defense against the Populists' new, witch-sped army and the Stitchlifes' polymorphic castle, Baba Yaga, but as victory comes into sight, new threats emerge and all that has been gained could be lost forever. As destruction marches closer by the minute, only Molly and Kitty Hawk, the first Stitchlife Witch can ensure that the ultimate result of the rebellion against the nobles will be lasting freedom.
