You cant help getting caught up in the smartly-paced storywhich is served up with lashings of steampunk relish.SFX (UK)Rees makes the book work: the world hes created is a psychopathic nightmare.The GuardianIn the Demi-Monde, author Rod Rees has conjured up a terrifying virtual reality, a world dominated by historys most ruthless and bloodthirsty psychopathsfrom Holocaust architect Reinhard Heydrich to Torquemada, the Spanish Inquisitions pitiless torturer, to Josef Stalins 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 Collinss The Hunger Games, the result might be something akin to the dark and ingenious madness of Reess The Demi-Monde: Winter.
