Relation In Favor Of Books Shadow of a Dead Star ( The Wonderland Cycle #1)

Seattle, 2078. The future hasn't been kind to the spirit of humanity; commercial obsession and technological fetishism rules the day, religion and belief has died screaming in the fires of war, and what remains is moral decrepitude. Life in the future is hard on the soul.

As an agent of the Industrial Security Bureau, Thomas Walken knows that better than anyone. His job is to keep the worst kind of black-market technology out of the hands of citizens, technology born out of the shadowy nation nicknamed Wonderland. But the kind of fantasies that come out of that place aren't for the good people of the world. Wonderland technology is like black magic made real.

Walken's newest assignment starts out simply: intercept a smuggled shipment of Princess Dolls, little girls turned into sex toys, and bring them into custody. But when the girls are hijacked from federal custody and Walken gives chase, he finds a trail of bodies in their wake. Before he's through, Walken will find himself confronted revelations that will answer every question that the troubled lawman has ever had about himself and the world he lives in - but his mind and soul may not survive it.

A dark, brooding piece of future noir, SHADOW OF A DEAD STAR will take you down the rabbit hole on a ride you won't soon forget.

Critique Based On Books Shadow of a Dead Star ( The Wonderland Cycle #1)

Book Info: Genre: Cyberpunk/Science Fiction/Detective Noir Reading Level: Adult My Thoughts: This is a very dark book the world in 2078 is not a nice place at all. Seattle has completely changed what used to be a quirky and artistic place has been replaced with corporate sterility, only the Verge standing between the New City and the Old City retains any of the original charm.The book was well-written with good characterization and a smooth plot flow, but for some reason I just couldnt get

Great read. In this gritty, fast, future-noir Book, Shean creates a world that is at once, vaguely familiar...and frightening. Enough familiarity to relate to, enough technology out-of-control to make the reader think. If you enjoyed Philip K Dick's Blade Runner Books, you will like "Shadow of a Dead Star".I will buy the sequel to this one.

Somewhere between the horrible Citizens United court case and realizing Google not only powered my search engine but also built my phone and browser, I stopped reading cyberpunk. It seemed irrelevant, really, to pick up books that were "what if the past tried to describe today" because they'd all skew more violent than reality. Cyberpunk was a genre, and I say was, that existed to point out if we don't watch out, we'll all be owned by corporations and kept under heel by militarized,

Shadow of a Dead Star is a blistering cyber-noir dystopian mystery. The hero is Thomas Walken, an investigator with the Industrial Security Bureau. He's a company man, but reliant on his conscience and gut intuition, and desperately trying to stay true to himself in a city that tries to crush what makes us human at every turn.He works in the New City of Seattle, where capitalism and technology have taken an amoral turn. State governments have been reduced in scope and power to the point where

I highly recommend this book. Don't ask any questions, just pick it up and start reading. If you're like me you won't want to put it down, but you also won't want to finish it too quickly. When you aren't reading it you'll be thinking about it, and when you've finished it you'll still be thinking about it. I'm really glad I decided to read this one!

I have had the pleasure of being a part of the 'process' for Shadow, beta reading among other things. Neither cyberpunk for crime are my usual tastes so I went in not actually expecting to enjoy the book, and the fact I really did is a huge point in the novel's favour, given it had major genre-preference hurdles to jump.The main thread that grabs hold of any reader is the strength of the characterisation. From the conflicted protagonist to the side characters who manage to be morally bankrupt

I absolutely loved this book all the way to the last twist, which for me, was too rash. Still Shadow of a Dead Star is a brilliant read and a welcome change from the humdrum tween sci-fi and countless fantasy novels that is saturating the market.If you love Sci-Fi, Cyberpunk or Noire or all of the above check out this cracking read.
