Title: PLASTIC JESUS by Wayne Simmons (Cyberpunk, baby!)
Post by: HOO-HAA on 03 December, 2013, 11:19:46 AM
Hey all, just popping by to let you know my new book, a sci-fi thriller, is available now at all good book stores and online.

(Can't seem to insert a pic link!)

Here's the blurb:

Code Guy Johnny Lyon writes a Jesus social networking AI, to rebrand religion following a devastating Holy War. But something goes wrong; virtual hell bursts onto the streets of Lark City, with Johnny the only person who can stop it.

PLASTIC JESUS is a sci-fi thriller echoing Ridley Scott's BLADE RUNNER and Christopher Nolan's INCEPTION.

'The moodiness of Blade Runner... and stylistic writing of Jeff Noon's Vurt, but with a unique quality all its own. Dangerous and atmospheric, Plastic Jesus is a futuristic thrill ride with unexpected heart.' Books, Bones & Buffy

'Modern, edgy and fascinating...' Skin Deep Tattoo Magazine

'Wayne Simmons steps out of his blood-splattered comfort zone and makes an indelible mark on the sci-fi genre.' Starburst Magazine

'Part cyberpunk futuristic thriller, part post-apocalyptic nightmare, Wayne Simmons's Plastic Jesus is a grim satire on contemporary western hedonism and the religious impulse... Simmons convincingly depicts an already hellish society's irrevocable slide into chaos. The author's previous novels have been in the horror genre, and this shows in his ability to pile on the terror and ratchet up the tension: Plastic Jesus is a stunning read, but not for the faint‑hearted.'

Say The Guardian of PLASTIC JESUS.

Should be in Saturday's paper or you can read it in full online:
