Excerpts from this trilogy have appeared in slightly different form as short stories in several anthologies.


"From the beginning, thwarting the Second Alliance had been the first priority of the New Resistance; now the SA had decided it was time to return the favor. Resistance could not be allowed to interfere with the progress of the SA's master plan. The elimination of the rebels would clear the way for Project Total Eclipse, which in turn would stretch the SA's shadow over every remaining outpost of humanity, selecting scapegoats, directing violence, and creating an immutable new order.

"The Penumbra of the Eclipse... it would establish complete SA control over the Grid, the space colony, and the survivors of the war -- and decide the fate of humanity itself". [jacket blurb, US pbk, 1988]


Hardcore cyberpunk.
Highly recommended.
