Description:
"Novel and fresh....An adventure tale wrapped in a computer simulation." - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review "Superb....Such an inventive world is engrossing on its own, but the wildly unpredictable plot and characters make for plenty of surprises and twists." - Wichita Eagle "An uncanny and haunting story.... An epic cyber tale." - Desert News (Salt Lake City) "Explosively creative barely defines Rod Rees's The Demi-Monde Winter. It blew me away as the novel skated on the razor's edge between where we are today and where we're headed tomorrow. As much a cautionary tale as a gripping thriller cut from a digital cloth." - James Rollins, New York Times bestselling author of The Devil Colony "A brilliant, high concept series that blends science fiction and thriller, steampunk and dystopian vision. If Neil Gaiman, Neal Stephenson, James Rollins, and Clive Cussler participated in Suzanne Collins's THE HUNGER GAMES, the result might be something akin to the dark and ingenious madness of Rees's THE DEMI MONDE: WINTER." - BookReporter (starred review) "Strong characters, along with the clever interweaving of seemingly disparate plot threads, make this a standout selection for fans of high-tech sf and cyberfiction." - Library Journal.com (starred review) "Elegantly constructed, skillfully written, and absolutely impossible to stop reading." - Booklist (starred review) "Rees makes the book work: the world he's created is a psychopathic nightmare, while Ella, by contrast, is a touchingly vulnerable heroine whose quest is fraught with both physical and psychological dangers." - The Guardian "This is a fiesty and nightmarishly enjoyable debut that bodes well for his Demi-Monde series." - Sunday Times (London)
