Burn Summary
|
The corporate-funded police force of Old New York dropped its investigation into a man's mysterious death by fire. Spontaneous human combustion is the rumored cause, but a down-and-out private detective, a former member of the Old New York Police Force, soon learns that this wasn't the only man to die this way. Now, working with an inhumanly beautiful android 'Netrunner named Jonny Cache, and with a little help from a team of paranormal enthusiasts and a militant group of genetically redesigned women, he must find out who, why, and how the killings are taking place without attracting the wrath of Expedite Corp. and the police force it funds. In a surreal twenty-first century full of androids, binaries, chip trippers, NewSchool Grrls and Morlocks, black acid rain and StellarNet obsession, we meet Cage, a private detective down on his luck. Kicked off the prestigious Old New York Police Force after having gone up against Expedite, the most powerful computer corporation in the world, he is struggling to make ends meet when fate seems to lend him a helping hand. Fragile Janice Gild comes to him with the story of the death of her brother James, a death so bizarre, Cage can only begin to guess at the method of the gruesome killing, and the motive behind it. Soon Cage's path is littered with the burnt remains of a seemingly unconnected group of people. Only James' ex-girlfriend, the inhumanly lovely Jonny Cache, can shed any light on the victims who have been made to burn.... 2000: WordWeaver Award (AWARD WINNER) Winner of the WordWeaver Award for Literary Excellence 2000: Dream Realm Awards (nominated) A Dream Realm Awards nominee 2000: Spectrum Awards (nominated) A Spectrum Awards nominee 2001: BookSense Pick (AWARD WINNER) A BookSense Pick, February 2001 2001: Independent E-Book Awards (nominated) An Independent E-Book Awards nominee 2000: Frankfurt Awards (nominated) A 2... |
