A former rock star fights a fascist private army in a war-torn future Europe in this"chillingly plausible" and prescient science fiction classic ( Kirkus Reviews). It is 2039, and parts of Europe have been annihilated by tactical nukes and Russian aggression. As the chaos of a third world war rages, the Second Alliance smells an opportunity. They present themselves as a large multinational capable of creating some much-needed order. In reality, they are an organization of racists and theocrats with a very specific idea of "order" in mind-led by an ambitious televangelist, staffed with mercenaries, and harboring a dangerous cult within its ranks. Using media manipulation and propaganda, they gain power in the United States, in a pioneering space colony, and on an artificial island known as Freezone. But the New Resistance recognizes the SA for what it really is. And Rick Rickenharp-a once-famous guitarist hanging around the underground clubs-is about to play an unexpected role in their cause... Originally published in 1985 and updated by the author in 2012, Eclipseis the first book in an extraordinary trilogy by a visionary science fiction talent. "Spiky prose [hooks] the reader's attention... a Goya-esque vision of war-torn western Europe, bombed out and unstable... from a resurgence of Russian militarism and the collapse of NATO." - Publishers Weekly "[John Shirley is] cyberpunk's Patient Zero." -William Gibson
