DAVE SWAVELY lived in beautiful Napa Valley for ten years, and now resides in lovely Chester County, near Philadelphia. Kaleidocide is his second Peacer novel and the sequel to Silhouette, which was also published by Thomas Dunne Books.
"Fans of both sf and edgy mysteries should like this one very
much." --Booklist"This was every bit as good as its predecessor and
the blurb comparing it to Bladerunner - presumably the movie and
not the Philip K. Dick novel - is entirely appropriate."
--dondammassa.com"A number of twists keep the narrative tied neatly
to the rainbow-themed threats" --Publishers Weekly"Echoes of Blade
Runner and A Scanner Darkly run throughout a society ruled by
corporate interests, sharpening the divide between the have and the
have-nots. Ares's soul-searching journey echoes Swavely's own
philosophical ministrations, where "risk and destiny are synonyms"
and "the greatest men are the ones who make the most difficult
choices..".A thought-provoking debut novel with a futuristic
scenario that may be well on its way." --Shelf Awareness on
Silhouette"A brisk SF thriller. . .replete with antigravity and
cool wetware augmentations" --Publishers Weekly on
Silhouette"Intrigue, violence, and double-dealing go high-tech in
this rapid-fire tale" --Library Journal on Silhouette"[A]
refreshing read that would suit both science fiction and detective
fans." --sfcrowsnest.org.uk on Silhouette"Swavely updates the roman
policier genre with a high-tech gloss. I was bowled over by the
hyper-paced action and caught up by the deep political connections
and archly hip, bleeding-edge cultural references. If Steve
McQueen's 1969 Mustang in BULLITT could've actually flown, it would
fit right into the chrome-&-neon streets of SILHOUETTE's future
San Francisco. I'll be waiting impatiently for the next installment
of the Peacer saga." --K. W. Jeter, bestselling author of Farewell
Horizontal and The Kingdom of Shadows, on Silhouette"A fast-paced
government thriller set in a distant future that's just close
enough to reality to keep readers anxiously turning pages." --Julie
Cross, International bestselling author of Tempest, on
Silhouette"An explosive murder mystery set in a fully realized
future...takes off at a gallop and never lets up. I loved it."
--Nate Kenyon, award-winning author of Sparrow Rock, Strarcraft
Ghost: Spectres, and Diablo: The Order, on Silhouette
