The Demi-Monde:Winter, Rod Rees


The year is 2018. The Demi-Monde is a complex  heuristic computer simulation designed to train US army recruits in an asymmetric war environment and save the US army billions of dollars a year. And what the sales pitch doesn’t say? That the most evil, cunning strategists history has witnessed from Henry VIII to the embodiment of the final solution have been digitally recreated to wage war all over again, that they have weapons and ambitions beyond the Demi-Monde and they have Norma Williams.

Singer Ella Thomas thought she was auditioning for an army gig, instead she’s thrust through a backdoor in the Demi-Monde, a reluctant one girl rescue team. Her mission? Recover President Williams’ daughter before she is sucked dry of blood and information. She’ll encounter hordes and hordes of SS, a debutante turned revolutionary heroine, a charming fake Russian physic, his holiness Alistair Crowley, the legendary Josephine Baker, and a whinging prima donna whom Ella may have to stand in line to put a bullet into. And if Ella succeeds in saving Norma will the army generals back in the real world believe her Cassandra-like warnings. They are coming. Or are they already here?
