Novels

After eight years on a frozen prison planet, Edie is finally free, betrayed long ago by her former partner Angel. She wants nothing to do with crime again, but Angel is waiting with an offer: one last job targeting the trillionaire tech magnate they once failed to bring down.

To succeed, Edie must decide whether she can trust Angel again, even as neon-lit Kepler space station looms with danger and opportunity. Blending high-tech intrigue with a fight for belonging, this story captures the spirit of cyberpunk rebellion and survival against the odds.

Hardwired features high-tech thrills and unforgettable heroes in the great tradition of William Gibson's Neuromancer. According to Locus, Hardwired is Walter Jon Williams's "best book to date".

Ex-fighter pilot Cowboy, "hardwired" via skull sockets directly to his lethal electronic hardware, teams up with Sarah, an equally cyborized gun-for-hire, to make a last stab at independence from the rapacious Orbitals.

Forty years from now, Earth's climate has been drastically changed by the greenhouse effect. Tornadoes of almost unimaginable force roam the open spaces of Texas. And on their trail are the Storm Troupers: a ragtag band of computer experts and atmospheric scientists who live to hack heavy weather - to document it and spread the information as far as the digital networks will stretch, using virtual reality to explore the eye of the storm.

Although it's incredibly addictive, this is no game. The Troupers' computer models suggest that soon an "F-6" will strike - a tornado of an intensity that exceeds any existing scale; a storm so devastating that it may never stop. And they're going to be there when all hell breaks loose.

In an era when life expectancies stretch 100 years or more and adhering to healthy habits is the only way to earn better medical treatments, ancient "post humans" dominate society with their ubiquitous wealth and power. By embracing the safe and secure, 94-year-old Mia Ziemann has lived a long and quiet life. Too quiet, as she comes to realize, for Mia has lost the creative drive and ability to love-the holy fire-of the young. But when a radical new procedure makes Mia young again, she has the chance to break free of society's cloying grasp.
