Author Mike Zummo’s bold and imaginative sci-fi novel Toriko Tales: Toriko vs The Crowned Paw has been honored with the Literary Titan Gold Book Award, a recognition given to works that exemplify excellence in writing, storytelling, character development, and overall impact.

Zummo’s award-winning novel delivers a high-octane adventure that blends cutting-edge technology, moral complexity, and deeply human themes. Following catgirl engineer Toriko Purg, the story begins with what should have been a simple birthday celebration: cake, gaming, and testing her latest AI-powered power armor. Instead, she inadvertently gives rise to a sentient, and illegal, AI, plunging her into a whirlwind of ethical dilemmas, political consequences, and personal danger.

Beneath the action-packed combat and glowing gadgets lies a rich exploration of family bonds, corruption, and the delicate balance between innovation and responsibility. As Toriko and her allies claw at long-buried truths, readers are swept into a world where humor, chaos, and conscience collide.

The Literary Titan review praised the novel as “a blast of color, chaos, and emotion packed into a high-tech, heart-thumping adventure.” Reviewers highlighted the fast-paced action, vivid prose, and emotional resonance that elevate Toriko Tales beyond traditional sci-fi. “There’s loss, guilt, wonder, and even a bit of hope tied into the ticking wires and blinking lights… If you like your sci-fi loud, bright, emotional, and full of heart, this is one for you.”

Mike Zummo’s dedication to authentic character development, inspired by years of crafting the expansive D’mok Revival literary universe, shines through every page. The author balances dazzling world-building with grounded human struggles, making Toriko Tales a powerful and timely contribution to modern science fiction.

Toriko Tales: Toriko vs The Crowned Paw launches on December 5th, with pre-orders opening September 19th exclusively on Amazon. Be among the first to experience this award-winning, action-packed adventure when it arrives.
