In the Empire of Underpants and Other Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781736168738)

Imagine a world without humans, where smart clothes equipped with apparel intelligence fight for supremacy. When a brave pair of smart-briefs sets out on a quest to cure his people's madness, he ends up in the middle of an all-out wardrobe war instead.That's just one of the incredible science fiction stories featured in this collection by USA Today bestselling author Robert Jeschonek.
