Description
Selina Kan, hacker and aspiring archaeologist, investigates the fate of the missing pieces of the Colossus of Rhodes.
Nagash Jensen, former private investigator, is a man on the run from corporate assassins.
Sage Menotti, rogue Interpol agent, tracks a murderer with ties to an ancient organization derived from the Knights Hospitaller.
They don’t know it yet, but each of them orbits a war between clandestine societies over a thousand-year-old secret. Thrown together by fate on the Isle of Rhodes, the three will struggle to survive a corporate hit squad, a mechanized mercenary, two armies of religious fanatics, and each other; all as they march towards a showdown that will transform the world.

Advance Praise
For now this is purely digital. I'm an indie author and this is an indie publisher. I'm in the midst of a digital campaign for reader reviews, and on social media. Towards the holiday season I will explore some personal connections at local B&N stores to look into book signings.
Marketing Plan
"Greg Leunig opens new worlds for readers in this page-turning novel. History and myth and sci-fi come together in a cavalcade of awesomeness--and delivered so smoothly that you won't want to put the book down. A promising new voice on the ever-changing speculative-lit scene."
— Teague von Bohlen, author of Flatland and The Pull of the Earth, and fiction editor of The Copper Nickel.
"From the gritty streets of future Floridian cyber-sprawl to the magical ruins of far-off Rhodes, Greg Leunig's cyberpunk adventure debut grabs hold of genre tropes and wrenches them into new, otherworldly shapes. Part Neuromancer, part National Treasure, Colossus is one hell of a ride."
— Brandon Getz, author of Lars Breaxface, Werewolf in Space and Stop Me If You've Heard This One Before.
"A pulpy thriller with a classical twist, COLOSSUS shines with its cast of ragtag characters racing against secret societies in an all-too-plausible corporate-controlled future."
— Erica L. Satifka, author of How to Get to Apocalypse and Other Disasters
