Description
Blade Runner meets X-Men in this follow-up to Mind Storm where humanity faces extinction and it's up to a group of rogue psions to save society
Fans of Charles Stross and Hannu Rajaniemi will lose themselves in this adventure as Threnody Corwin and her team of rogue Strykers contend with the aftermath of the events in Mind Storm and the unlocking of a new kind of psion power. They're on the run with Lucas Serca, who is closer than ever to destroying the World Court and his father's grip on the planet. Targeting the hidden cache of the planet's food supply meant to transform Mars into a paradise for the chosen few, Lucas triggers an escalating fight with the ruling government as worldwide chaos ensues. It's up to Threnody to save society before it destroys itself, but the cost is high and in the end, there is no such thing as compromise.
There is only survival.
In Threnody Corwin, K. M. Ruiz has created the coolest and most bad-ass sci-fi heroine since Signourney Weaver portrayed Ripley in the Alien films and Terminal Point takes her to the next level.
Advance Praise
"K.M. Ruiz's Mind Storm not only solidifies the beginning of an exciting new
series, but heralds the debut of a notable new voice in the sci-fi genre."
-Renee C. Fountain, New York Journal of Books
"The characters are fully
fleshed out, with bureaucrats, shady businessmen, Mafia-like organizations, and
soldiers. Each has an emotional depth that can be related to by the reader.
Those who enjoy tales of telepathy and paranormal abilities will thoroughly
enjoy this well-paced story." -Booklist
"Mind Storm hurls you two hundred
and fifty years into a ferociously possible future where the mind has long since
escaped the cage of the body and roams free and wild and dangerous. Total,
delicious immersion into a world rendered startlingly real by white-hot writing
skill." -Whitley Strieber, bestselling author of The Day After Tomorrow,
The Hunger and Communion
"To term Mind Storm a thriller,
even a post-apocalyptic thriller, doesn't fully describe the novel, because it's
also a study in psychological deception and self-deception in a devastated
future Earth where the greater the power one has, the greater the deception
required, making the book both unsettling and a parable for our time." -L.E.
Modesitt Jr., Bestselling author of Legacies
"A fast and furious
vision of a very dark future...one of the best reads of the year." -Nate Kenyon,
award-winning author of Sparrow Rock and Starcraft Ghost: Spectres
"Mutants, martyrs, mayhem, Mars, and the Mob--this book has it all
and leaves you craving yet more of this broken and battered world." -Rob
Thurman, author of The Cal Leandros and The Chimera
series
"Two-hundred and fifty years after a nuclear war psion-mutant
Threnody Corwin battles to stay alive in a cutthroat world where elites rule a
twisted society. Mind Storm crackles with pent-up energy, fresh ideas, and crisp
dialog. It flies like a bullet!" -William C. Dietz, author of the Legion of
the Damned series
"Heroine, Threnody Corwin battle[s] the supposedly
human Serca Syndicate's psionic Warhounds in excruciating scenes of physical and
mental agony, while...renegade...Lucas Serca dreams of saving the psions and
unregistered human scavengers and making a better world...Ruiz's tale will
appeal to military SF fans." -Publishers Weekly
