The author’s name only seems to have been tagged on as an afterthought. Initially I thought it was ‘Ruby Flames’, but no.

I think Ruby Flames is the show cat’s name. Or Alia Shawkat’s name. Or something.

Catware, Inc. seems to have used up its nine lives. The company logo might be GSS worthy. Bait and switch, as Shattered Light seems to lack catpeople.

@fred: Wenceslao Moreno should sue them for stealing his hand’s profile!

Wait, we’ve seen that loincloth before…

“Based on the sensational CD/ROM…”
Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have located the exact point where the 90s peaked.

Oh my goodness, I believe I did think Ruby Flames was the author name.

@JP: I don’t know, but…is it horrid of me, that I keep imagining the crossover fan fiction?

@dswbt Dick Steel vs Pussy Power in a battle over who gets to wear the velour loincloth to the ball.

Judging from Knaak’s wikipedia page, either Ruby Flames was the only book in the series, or someone else wrote the second book.

fred’s link above reveals that the Shattered Light game came with a full level editor. And it got me thinking…
Suppose that a vintage 90s CD-ROM computer and VR helmet, one of the real neck-busting jobs, had ended up in the late 1960s. Brothers Jeff and Bob Leighton, mid-level administrators at the real MI6, can get the setup working but not well enough understand what it is or how it works. Rather than take it to their colleagues who could reverse engineer it, the brothers decided to use it for their own entertainment.
There’s a recent hire, Richard Lipschitz, who insists on being known as Richard Blade. Dick is not only a card-carrying narcissist but more than a little slow, and his by-the-book obsession with detail is more than a little grating for the bored brothers Leighton. Jeff bets Bob a pound that he can get Lipschitz to strip naked except for a layer of paint, and Bob eagerly takes him up on the offer.
They create an imaginary branch using the power of Paperwork ™.
They transfer in as much antiquated computer machinery as they can, hiding their time-traveling computer setup in the middle of it all.
They build themselves a world straight out of those pulp novels Lipschitz loves to spend government time reading.
And they let the fun begin…

Yup, get here two days late and everything you could think of to say has been said.
Good Show, GSS!

That’s quite a wolflike feline.

It looks like there was a trilogy made of these, this being the first. the other two were:
Dark Light, by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro;
and
Catseye, by William R. Forstchen and Jaki Demarest.
