Stormland Audiobook

Quotes

• “One of our best and most singular writers. A powerhouse of ideas and imagery.”

  — William Gibson, author of Agency and Neuromancer

• “John Shirley’s acerbic humor is a perfect match for his sense of doom and adventure. One of his best. Buckle in!”

  — Greg Bear, author of Blood Music and The Unfinished Land

• “Stormland is a headlong sci-fi thriller about the punk squalor of post-disaster situations. It’s also got some remarkably interesting speculative technologies, so I’d say that Mr. Shirley is quite on top of his game with this one.”

  — Bruce Sterling, editor of Mirrorshades: The Cyberpunk Anthology

• “A powerful and necessary story for these times.”

  — Richard Kadrey, author of the Sandman Slim series

• “This swampadelic adventure transmogrifies such real-time disasters as Katrina-flooded New Orleans into the stuff of speculative nightmares.”

  — Paul Di Filippo, Locus

• “With this gripping dystopian novel, Shirley extrapolates a grim vision of a late-twenty-first-century US wracked by climate change…Howling super-hurricanes, grisly torture scenes, and the horrors of scientific experimentation on human brains make for harrowing reading. This is a sober warning about the seductive dangers of power.”

  — Publishers Weekly

• “A tightly paced, well thought-out cyberpunk thriller that entices after the very first chapter…Spare, no-nonsense prose like that of Edgar Rice Burroughs or Karl Edward Wagner, but with a cyberpunk twist that’s all [Shirley’s] own. It’s a sort of cyberpunk noir mixed with a biting commentary on mankind’s greed. Stormland is a big, sprawling read with plenty for just about everyone, a fun way to pass the time if stuck at home or on a bus.”
