Demi-Monde: Winter by Rod Rees
The Demi-Monde is the most advanced computer simulation ever devised. Created to prepare soldiers for the nightmarish reality of urban warfare, it is a virtual world locked in eternal civil war. Its thirty million digital inhabitants are ruled by duplicates of some of history's cruellest tyrants: Reinhard Heydrich, the architect of the Holocaust; Beria, Stalin's arch executioner; Torquemada, the pitiless Inquisitor General; Robespierre, the face of the Reign of Terror. But something has gone badly wrong inside the Demi-Monde, and the US President's daughter has become trapped in this terrible world. It falls to eighteen-year-old Ella Thomas to rescue her, yet once Ella has entered the Demi-Monde she finds that everything is not as it seems, that its cyber-walls are struggling to contain the evil within and that the Real World is in more danger than anyone realises.
'State of the art... Discworld's savage noir cousin' Stephen Baxter. 'Delectably dark ... A feisty and nightmarishly enjoyable debut' Sunday Times. 'The world he's created is a psychopathic nightmare, while Ella, by contrast, is a touchingly vulnerable heroine whose quest is fraught with both physical and psychological dangers' Guardian. 'An amazingly quick and enjoyable read and a beautifully designed cover' British Fantasy Society. 'Part Matrix, part Escape from New York, with a dash of Film Noir and a whole host of imagination. Beautifully written' Falcata Times. 'Explosively creative barely defines Ross Rees's The Demi-Monde: Winter. It blew me away' James Rollins, New York Times bestseller of The Devil Colony.

Book Review: Demi-Monde: Winter by Rod Rees - Reviewed by Sheepcoate (04 Feb 2012) I was quite taken by the book right from the start. The story was one of virtual reality meet steam pumk, the Government has created a hostile world where soldiers can practice warfare. Except that this world consists of some of the most vile and despicable people in history such as Nazi leaders and other warlords. Ella Thomas has been given an opportunity to rescue the Presidents daughter who is trapped in Demi-Monde. The author has created a fantastic story with likable characters and lots of intrigue. The books comes complete with a glossary of Demi-Monde terms, which take some time getting used to. The books ends on a cliff hanger, so eagerly awaiting the next in the series.
