<\/a>In June of last year, I blogged<\/a> about a new book, The Mirrored Heavens<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, by newcomer David Williams.\u00a0 I’ve only recently been able to begin reading the book and, while I’m not finished with it yet, I can safely say that the first section of the book is non-stop, pulse-pounding action.\u00a0 Truly, it gets your motor running…<\/p>\n

<\/a>I bring this up now because David has a new book in his future histories series coming out, The Burning Skies<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 From the book’s description:<\/p>\n

“In his electrifying debut, The Mirrored Heavens<\/strong><\/em>, David J. Williams created a dark futuristic world grounded in the military rivalries, terror tactics, and political wrangling of our own time. Now he takes his masterful blend of military SF, espionage thriller, and dystopian cyberpunk one step further\u2014to the edge of annihilation . . . .<\/em><\/p>\n

Life as U.S. counterintelligence agent Claire Haskell once knew it is in tatters\u2014her mission betrayed, her lover dead, and her memories of the past suspect. Worse, the defeat of the mysterious insurgent group known as Autumn Rain was not as complete as many believed. It is quickly becoming clear that the group\u2019s ultimate goal is not simply to destroy the tenuous global alliances of the 22nd century\u2014but to rule all of humanity. And they\u2019re starting with the violent destruction of the Net and the assassination of the U.S. president. Now it\u2019s up to Claire, with her ability to jack her brain into the systems of the enemy, to win this impossible war.<\/em><\/p>\n

Battling ferociously across the Earth-Moon system, and navigating a complex world filled with both steadfast loyalists and ruthless traitors, Claire must be ready for the Rain\u2019s next move. But the true enemy may already be one step ahead of her.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A visit to David’s website<\/a> is well worth your while.\u00a0 The art is first rate and the trailer of the Mirrored Heavens ranks very high on my cool-o-meter.\u00a0 In his first book, the mysterious enemy Autumn Rain successfully took out the Phoenix Space Elevator<\/a>.\u00a0 In his new book, Autumn Rain’s new target is the Europa Platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Buy both the books – I don’t think you’ll be sorry.\u00a0 And, as soon as I’ve finished the first one, I’ll post a review of it.<\/p>\n
