More about the book
The DEMI-MONDE is the most advanced computer simulation ever devised. Thirty million people ruled by history's cruelest tyrants, locked in eternal civil war. The intention: to create the closest thing to hell, preparing soldiers for the nightmarish reality of war. But something has gone badly wrong inside the Demi-Monde. Heydrich. Beria. Torquemada. Robespierre. History's most notorious mass-murderers - or at least simulacrums of these monsters - plot to escape their virtual world; their sights set on the real world once again. Planet Earth's hopes of stopping them rest on the unlikely shoulders of Ella Thomas. Eighteen-year-old Ella must enter the Demi-Monde, and infiltrate this perverse reality where little is as it seems, and everything is potentially lethal. In The Demi-Monde: Winter Rod Rees combines the scale of Peter F Hamilton, the inventiveness of Iain M Banks and the range of characters of Stephen Baxter. A novel of breathtaking scope and imagination, it is the first instalment in what will become a classic four-part series.
