Apocalypse. Psychedelic Doom Metal. Mutants.
Drama. Sci fi. Fantasy. Horror. Adventure.
Think Mad Max meets Space Odyssey.
.
SNOW OVER UTOPIA is a dark, apocalyptic adventure. The pace
is hard, fast and tight. Readers will be on the edge of their chairs, cringing at another horror scene, but too entranced to put this book down.
SUMMARY: In
an age of savage science powered by black-mass, and thrown away bio-matter
leaked into an underground sea lit by the heart of the great tree, a girl named
Eden loses her rare blue eyes. Escaping her fanatical and sadistic slave
masters with her eyes in a jar, she runs away with a murderer named Miner.
After fleeing for their lives deep within the forest, they are found by the
Librarian and his daughter Delilah, and sheltered in their mountain-top
sanctuary. But she cannot stop there. If Eden wants to restore her eyes, then
she must go on through time and space in a necrotronic stream generated by the
living computer program called Witch Mother. While mutantoid priests
in underground bunkers monitor transmissions from the great tree, Eden and
Miner must face the horrors of the factories and the coliseum run by the Robot
Queen in the city of Utopia. Can they make the ultimate sacrifice and complete
their mission? Or will they fail in Snow Over Utopia?
