The Barkless Doctrine
Made by Neven Mrgan
After being woken up by a mysterious phone call from her most important relative, Val goes on a journey through the busy streets of NYC, the seedy political underbelly of Washington D.C., and the dark suburbia on the periphery of the American dream. Can the two twin-aunts stop General Wagmore Barkless before it’s too late?
The Barkless Doctrine is an interactive comedy novel; a book in which you navigate the complex geopolitical tomfoolery that gets thrown at you. Will you accept Kitty’s invitation to a daring mission? Will you be rude to people, or only kind of rude? Green or red salsa? 👍👎 Choose wisely, for the fate of the free world is in your goofball hands!
Like a spy thriller paperback shuffled with a 1972 Toilet Jokes book, this is a heart-pounding, page-turning read filled with likable(?) characters, high stakes, and a freewheeling spirit. Read at your own pace, don’t worry about restarting or "dying"—but most importantly, remember to have fun out there 😎
