Description
A new sci-fantasy adventure for fans of Neuromancer and Ready Player One.
In a future built on beautiful illusions, there's nothing more dangerous than the truth.
The world has embraced the EVO, a neural chip that grants constant access to networks at a thought, and the ability to interact with reality through any filters imaginable. And for Michael Balder, it’s everything wrong with society. But when his older daughter goes missing, he has no choice but to wade into those frenetic shadows to find the clues hidden within the prototype game she left behind. Together with his younger daughter, they delve into a new world layered over their own, fighting for answers as the city quickly transforms into a monster-infested nightmare. And when a violent cabal emerges to steal the program, Michael discovers that he has strange new powers to fight back. But the only way to win is to play...
The Dyrnwyn Strain is a new sci-fantasy trilogy with gamelit elements, set in a near future where technology has been left to evolve unchecked, twisted to alter reality, and exploited to maximize profits at the expense of humanity. So, you know...fiction.
Advance Praise
"There are books you read slowly, a few pages or a chapter at a time, and there are books you don't put down until you look up from the last page. "Evoker" is from that second group. It rushes headlong into trouble and never slows down, careening from peril to heartbreak to peril at a relentless pace. Inventive and innovative- you won't be disappointed." - William, Goodreads

Evoker takes us on a day’s journey: sadness, stress, puzzles, and triumphs. A man who lost his wife and is saddled with crippling debt is trying to keep his head above water while shielding his two college-age daughters from the precariousness of their financial situation. But of course kids know what’s happening, and the eldest takes matters into her own hands. From this point, we are off on a roller-coaster of a virtual reality “game” of high stakes. It’s engaging and inventive. While the dad-as-hero is slow to give his daughters credit for their skills, he clearly believes he is putting their best interests first. It’s easy to root for this family. It’s a more grown-up version of Ready, Player One in terms of the gaming experience, with much higher stakes. I look forward to listening to the next two audiobooks in this trilogy. The author does an excellent job with the narration!
My thanks to the author, publisher, and #NetGalley for access to the audiobook of #Evoker for review purposes. It is now available, with the second (Revoker) due out in April 2025.
