The Demi-Monde: Winter

By Rod Rees

Book Overview

"You can't help getting caught up in the smartly-paced story...which is served up with lashings of steampunk relish." -- SFX (UK) "Rees makes the book work: the world he's created is a psychopathic nightmare." -- The Guardian In the Demi-Monde, author Rod Rees has conjured up a terrifying virtual reality, a world dominated by history's most ruthless and bloodthirsty psychopaths--from Holocaust architect Reinhard Heydrich to Torquemada, the Spanish Inquisition's pitiless torturer, to Josef Stalin's bloodthirsty right-hand man/monster, the infamous Beria. The Demi-Monde: Winter kicks off 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 .
