- In a near-future dystopia, a limited nuclear strike has destroyed portions
of Europe, bringing the remaining nation-cities under control of the Second
Alliance, a frighteningly fundamentalist international security corporation with
designs on world domination. The only defense against the Alliance's creeping
totalitarianism is the New Resistance, a polyglot team of rebels that includes
Rick Rickenharp, a retro-rocker whose artistic and political sensibilities
intertwine, and John Swenson, a mole who has infiltrated the Alliance.- As the fight continues and years progress, so does the technology and
brutality of the Alliance... but ordinary people like the damaged visionary
Smoke, Claire Rimpler on FirStep, and Dance Torrence and his fellow urban
warriors on Earth are bound together by the truth and a single purpose: to keep
the darkness from becoming humankind's Total Eclipse — or die trying!- John Shirley was cyberpunk's patient zero, first locus
of the virus, certifiably virulent."-William Gibson. An omnibus of all three
novels-revised by the author-of the prophetic, still frighteningly relevant
cyberpunk masterpieces: Eclipse, Eclipse Penumbra, and Eclipse Corona. With an
introduction by Richard Kadrey and biographical note by Bruce
Sterling.
