  • 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.
