âRees makes the book work: the world heâs created is a psychopathic nightmare.â
âThe Guardian
In the Demi-Monde, author Rod Rees has conjured up a terrifying virtual reality, a world dominated by historyâs most ruthless and bloodthirsty psychopathsâfrom Holocaust architect Reinhard Heydrich to Torquemada, the Spanish Inquisitionâs pitiless torturer, to Josef Stalinâs 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 Collinsâs The Hunger Games, the result might be something akin to the dark and ingenious madness of Reesâs The Demi-Monde: Winter.
