UNDERGROUND I & II

UNDERGROUND I

František Kotleta’s novel is set on Christmas Day 2107 in Prague – a gigantic megapolis. The Czech Republic, after the war with Poland over Silesia, is falling apart. Prague, dominated by the owners of the most powerful companies, has fortified themselves against the rest of the world. Everything that the city’s inhabitants need is produced in Prague laboratories or factories, and what happens outside the borders of Prague City, nobody cares.

The city has enough problems of its own. Like the cult of cyber witches, which penetrates deep into the hearts of the inhabitants of the city while witches are being killed. Their protection will be provided by a Czech-Polish war veteran, a former Vachten policeman. This mission will take him to the riches of the top floors of skyscrapers and the decayed underworld (where you can always earn extra in the underworld by transplanting yourself three penises).

UNDERGROUND II

The second volume of František Kotlet’s bestseller: Underground.

The world has plunged into darkness, but Prague City in 2108 is a happy city, full of millions of satisfied residents and sparkling with neon lights. At least that’s what City News says. But even the editors of the ubiquitous TV channel know that a revolt is ripening beneath the surface. Corporations are crumbling. After many years, elections were announced, and the election campaign brings not only verbal skirmishes, but also blood on the streets. Cyber-Messiah, the alleged savior of the humiliated masses disillusioned with the cult of cybernetic sorceresses, walks the streets of the city.

Detective Vachten has other problems. Influential people are dying, and news flows to City News from a murderer who calls himself the Zodiac. To make matters worse, Prague youth succumbs to the magic of retro-pop versions of songs by Hana Zagorova and Helena Vondráčková.

Welcome to the post-punk world of František Kotlet, which charmed thousands of readers.
