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 Eclipseâ??or die trying! An omnibus of all three novelsâ??revised by the authorâ??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 Sterl… (plus d'informations)

Best Sci Fi Book I've ever read. The wide range of characters and personal story was what caught my attention. The story was well written and consistent in the 3 different books. ( )

First review of the the omnibus edition but I was surprised that none of individual books in the trilogy had been reviewed. Let`s get the potentially troublesome c-word out of the way; "cyberpunk" is not a particularly useful descriptor whether accurate or not.

This is a great book; a near future, dystopian, techno-thriller with a heart of gold. It does bear comparison to the best of William Gibson, and does incorporate internet/computer grid elements (to a much larger extent in the 3rd book), but if this was the only book in the world it would stand on its own, thank you.

Read it. ( )
