The Rapture Effect Reborn

My novel The Rapture Effect, originally published some years ago, is now out in all-new clothes! I gave you a look at the new cover a few weeks ago, but here it is again:

In case you have no idea what this book is about, here’s the description:

War between the stars…

It was started by an AI. Few humans even knew there was a war at all. But now people are dying—and the AI wants it to stop. But a war is easier to start than to stop, and the computer can’t alter its course without outside help. When the Gnostic Control System searches for co-conspirators, it chooses its friends carefully.

  • Pali: a brooding public relations director.
  • Ramo: a flamboyant senso-dancer, who prefers a musical jamdam to serious conversation.
  • Sage: a systems designer for whom the AI rapture-field is realer than life.
  • And three of the alien Ell: Harybdartt, who would rather die with dignity than betray his people; Lingrhetta, who tries to unravel the meaning of human dance and music, pain and love; and Moramaharta, the binder, who must persuade his fellow decision-makers to risk everything for the sake of a fragile bridge of understanding across the stars.

A thought-provoking novel from the award-winning author of Eternity’s End and The Chaos Chronicles, and recipient of the Frank Herbert Lifetime Achievement Award for science fiction writing.

“A lively dance of ideas… well-worth the trip ticket.” —Roger Zelazny

Hint: Any of these editions could be an excellent gift for the holidays!
