Description
Praise for Shadow of a Dead Star:
"Call it TechNoir. Call it CyberPulp. Just so long as you call it original." - William Vitka, Writer & Journalist
"A nightmarish world of synthetic humans, hard-talking hackers and the kind of technology you thought only existed in Blade Runner." - Icy Sedgwick, independent reviewer
"Something different and refreshing. It pulled out emotions long forgotten in reading piles of similar books, and reminded me of why it's important to take a chance on something new every now and then." - Jessica, Goodreads reviewer
Overview:
Shadow of a Dead Star is the first installment of cyberpunk trilogy, The Wonderland Cycle, its high-tech setting shot through with much older, classic detective noir DNA to form something fiercely unique that has been exciting and surprising reviewers left, right and centre.
More Praise for Michael Shean:
"Shean's writing rips you out of your comfortable chair and hurls you directly into the story. It is one thing for a writer to write a story about a dark and brooding place, it is something entirely different when the reader can actually feel the coldness and the despair emanate from the page." - Karen DeLabar, independent reviewer
"A futuristic crime thriller that hits the ground running and never pauses for breath. It reminds you of Blade Runner and Shadowrun, but never comes off as derivative, having a unique and well rounded take on a genre." - Joshua Bumgarner, Amazon Reviewer
