Book excerpt: Centuries after global disaster, the remnants of humanity endure in an inhuman environment: a city entombed in stone and steel, beneath the fluorescent lightof an unmoving sun. In the Hypogeum, invisible assassins keep the population in check, cannibalism and incest are commonplace, and privacy is a thing of the past. Just when tensions are reaching a boiling point, an ancient mythical spirit is resurrected to cleanse the city of its many sins... and sinners. Bursting with imagination, action, and vividly drawn characters, Steel Sky is a cautionary tale of idealism pushed beyond all limits, in a world unlike any other, with a heart as real as your own.
