Sinossi

The conclusion of the visionary cyberpunk saga by “one of SF’s most singular talents”—a portrait of a near-future battle against a new totalitarianism (William Gibson, New York Times–bestselling author of The Peripheral).   America has finally turned against the fascist Second Alliance—but Europe remains in the crosshairs of the multinational corporation’s terrifying genocidal plans. Their masterful use of media and technology to spread their hateful propaganda has positioned them to begin their final assault with little resistance—except from a band of warriors prepared to fight back from the keyboards to the killing fields.   Now a new, fragile alliance is forming between two historically bitter enemies as Israeli and Muslim guerillas band together to defeat a common enemy—and save humanity from the darkness . . .   “[An] apocalyptic, pop-inflected, rock-driven vision.” —William Gibson   “John Shirley’s prophet-in-the-cyberwilderness voice deserves high billing among the best.” —Roger Zelazny, Nebula Award–winning author of Nine Princes in Amber
