First of all this is the first in a series - which is good because Winter is a barnstormer. Imagine a cash-strapped US military devising a fully immersive battle simulation that plugs new recruits into a hyper-real computer generated world - a world populated by duplicates of people who exist or have existed in the real world. Cunning strategists, evil dictators, men who would've been more feared than Adolf Hitler had they lived. To give them something to fight over certain commodities are rare, and the tech is decidedly low. But being the US army you give your trainees top-of-the-line M4 machine guns to play with and your trainees get captured. This pesky computer program is becoming a problem, time to pull the plug. But your virtual counterparts are way ahead of you and they lure the daughter of the US President into the Demi-Monde. Now you have to get her out before you can pull the plug because if you die in the Demi-Monde you die in the real world...
Demi-Monde:Winter comes out in Jan 2012 - full review then.
