A Song Called Youth Trilogy
Eclipse Eclipse Penumbra Eclipse Corona


"A complex, bizarre, and unique vision of the coming century, with a kaleidoscopic mix of politics, pop, and paranoia." -- Bruce Sterling

"...I first met him in 1977 when he was into spiked dog collars. No one was ready for his insane novels...there just wasn't anything else like that being written then -- no hook or label like cyberpunk, no opening -- so they were totally ignored. If those books were published now, people would be saying 'Wow, look at this stuff! It's beyond cyberpunk!'"-- WIlliam Gibson (interview in Storming the Reality Studio)

"The Eclipse trilogy by John Shirley is perhaps one of the finest examples of cyberpunk 'war' novels available. A mesmerizing dark future setting, really coherent intrigue, heavy-duty warfare and lots of characters you care for...will keep you awake at night. -- francobrain/Transputer Qasar(Italy)

"A cyberpunk-ish series by John Shirley. The three books: Eclipse, Eclipse Penumbra, and Eclipse Corona are probably the most incredible cyberpunk stories I've read to date. Throughout the three books, as the years progress, so does the technology. In most series, the technology is absolutely stagnant. Shirley has done an incredible job at creating a story that will drive you to read on and on with desperation as you come to the end of the second book. If you want to see how to write cyberpunk, this is the series. As a genre, cyberpunk seems to be fading. If more people read this series, it might get new life. Definitely!!!" -- NCRP
