About the Book

They call it Stormland: a sprawling, largely abandoned region of the southeastern coast of the USA, where climate change's extreme weather conditions have brought about a "perfect storm" of perpetual tempests; where hurricane-strength storms return day after day, 365 days a year. The heart of Stormland is Charleston, South Carolina, a flooded ruin where hundreds of people remain for their own peculiar reasons; where thugs prey on the weak, and a strangely benevolent cult tries to keep everyone insanely sane. Here, plutocratic evil takes advantage of Stormland's lawlessness to cultivate a weirdly puppeted theater of cruelty. Swept into the turbulent vortex of Stormland is an unlikely duo--a former serial killer and a former US Marshal--who must work together to bring light to America's late twenty-first century heart of darkness. A cyberpunk detective thriller set in a maelstrom of climatic upheaval, classism, and corrupt power, Stormland paradoxically dramatizes the resilience of the human spirit.

Review :
"Stormland is a headlong sci-fi thriller about the punk squalor of post-disaster situations. It's also got some remarkably interesting speculative technologies, so I'd say that Mr. Shirley is quite on top of his game with this one." -- "Bruce Sterling, editor of Mirrorshades: The Cyberpunk Anthology" "A powerful and necessary story for these times." -- "Richard Kadrey, author of the Sandman Slim series" "A tightly paced, well thought-out cyberpunk thriller that entices after the very first chapter...Spare, no-nonsense prose like that of Edgar Rice Burroughs or Karl Edward Wagner, but with a cyberpunk twist that's all [Shirley's] own. It's a sort of cyberpunk noir mixed with a biting commentary on mankind's greed. Stormland is a big, sprawling read with plenty for just about everyone, a fun way to pass the time if stuck at home or on a bus." -- "New York Journal of Books" "John Shirley's acerbic humor is a perfect match for his sense of doom and adventure. One of his best. Buckle in!" -- "Greg Bear, author of Blood Music and The Unfinished Land" "One of our best and most singular writers. A powerhouse of ideas and imagery." -- "William Gibson, author of Agency and Neuromancer" "Set in a nightmarish future where extreme weather perpetually batters the coast, Stormland portrays human tenacity and ingenuity within a Hobbesian universe. John Shirley has created a vivid, hurricane-soaked canvas and a cast of memorable characters, none more so than a reluctant detective and a reformed serial killer who work in tandem to solve a series of perplexing crimes. A feat of dystopian imagination, Stormland cements Shirley's voice in the upper echelon of the cyberpunk genre." -- "Jon Bassoff, author of Captain Clive's Dreamworld" "This swampadelic adventure transmogrifies such real-time disasters as Katrina-flooded New Orleans into the stuff of speculative nightmares." -- "Paul Di Filippo, Locus" "With this gripping dystopian novel, Shirley extrapolates a grim vision of a late-twenty-first-century US wracked by climate change...Howling super-hurricanes, grisly torture scenes, and the horrors of scientific experimentation on human brains make for harrowing reading. This is a sober warning about the seductive dangers of power." -- "Publishers Weekly"
