Description: "A crackling cyberthriller. This is Tom Clancy interfacing Bruce Sterling. David Williams has hacked into the future."-Stephen Baxter, author of the Manifold series "The Mirrored Heavenspresents an action-jammed and audacious look at a terrifyingly plausible future. By comparison to Williams' future, the present mess surrounding the Iraq conflict seems almost benign. Highly recommended for politicians, not that most would wish to see where their actions could easily lead."-L. E. Modesitt, Jr. "The Mirrored Heavens is a complex view of global politics in time of crisis. Williams understands that future wars will be fought as much on-line as off. It's also rousing adventure with breathless, non-stop action-Tom Clancy on speed. And you will NOT be able to guess the ending."-Nancy Kress, author of the Probability trilogy "Explodes out the gate like a sonic boom and never stops. Adrenaline bleeds from Williams' fingers with every word he hammers into the keyboard. The razors ofThe Mirrored Heavenswould eat cyberpunk's old-guard hackers and cowboys as a light snack."-Peter Watts, author ofBlindsight "The Mirrored Heavenspresents an action-jammed and audacious look at a terrifyingly plausible future. By comparison to Williams' future, the present mess surrounding the Iraq conflict seems almost benign. Highly recommended for politicians, not that most would wish to see where their actions could easily lead."-L. E. Modesitt, Jr., bestselling author of the Saga of Recluse series, the Spellsong Cycle series, and the Corean Chronicles series "The Mirrored Heavensis a 21st centuryNeuromancerset in a dark, dystopian future where nothing and no one can be trusted, the razors who rule cyberspace are predators and prey, and ordinary human life is cheap. It starts out at full throttle and accelerates all the way to the end." -Jack Campbell, author ofThe Lost Fleet: Courageous "Calling to mind Clint Eastwood and Dirty Harry more than Humphrey Bogart and Philip Marlowe,The Mirrored Heavens'action is wild and relentless. In a welcome respite from noir stereotyping, Williams' female protagonist is neither killed nor kidnapped. A subject, not an object, Claire Haskell moves and shakes her dystopic world."-Seattle Times "Non-stop action propels the reader forward. Like William Styron'sSophie's Choice, characters face horrific decisions involving mass destruction of innocents and murder of close friends and allies."-Sfrevu.com "A powerful, rapid-fire sf adventure/intrigue story with echoes of cyberpunk."-Library Journal From the Trade Paperback edition.
