Riassunto

In a futuristic London where technological body modification is the norm, Ecko stands alone as a testament to the extreme capabilities of his society. Driven half mad by the systems running his body, Ecko is a criminal for hire. No job is too dangerous or insane.

When a mission goes wrong and Ecko finds himself catapulted across dimensions into a peaceful and unadvanced society living in fear of 'magic', he must confront his own percepions of reality and his place within it.

A thrilling debut, Ecko Rising explores the massive range of the sci-fi and fantasy genres, and the possible implications of pitting them against one another. Author Danie Ware creates an immersive and richly imagined world that readers will be eager to explore in the first book in this exciting new trilogy.

This really is a cracking read. --Book Geek Says Blog

"The sci-fi debut of the year begins like a cyberpunk thriller, before performing a sharp U-turn to become a rollicking high-fantasy adventure.

"Ecko Rising is truly the epitome of the expression, a little something for everyone. It has science fiction roots, a fantasy trunk, some romance branches, and a sprinkling of humor leaves to round things out. After finishing the book, I m still a little dumbfounded as to how Ware managed to create two worlds so vivid and so different, and put them in the same story." --Pop Culture Nexus

"A thrilling ride. If you like fantasy, sci-fi and reading about other worlds, then this book is definitely for you." --Dark Media
