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). This is an omnibus of all three novels-revised by the
author-of the prophetic, still frighteningly relevant cyberpunk
masterpieces: "Eclipse", "Eclipse Penumbra", and "Eclipse Corona".
This title is presented with an introduction by Richard Kadrey and
biographical note by Bruce Sterling.
