Eclipse — John Shirley

CONSPIRACY … NOT JUST THEORY
2029: The Russians didn't use the big nukes.
The ongoing Third World War leaves parts of Europe in ruins. Into the chaos steps the Second Alliance, a multi-national eager to impose its own kind of New World Order.
In the United States … in FirStep, the vast space colony … and the artificial island Freezone … the SA shoulders its way to power, spinning a dark web of media manipulation, propaganda, and infiltration.
Only the New Resistance recognizes the SA for what it really is: a racist theorcracy hiding a cult of eugenics.
Enter Rick Rickenship, a former rock'n'roll cult hero: a rock classicist … out of place in Europe's underground club scene, populated by “wiredancers” and “minimonos” … but destined to play a Song Called Youth that will shake the world.
