[Ruins Sonata 01] • Mr. Ruins

A mind-twisting thriller through the tsunami-wrecked future.

The Arctic ice is gone, blown apart in desperate resource wars. Global tsunamis have left the world an apocalyptic wasteland, and survivors cluster on lawless floating slums, living in fear of the next big wave.

Ex-marine Ritry isn't afraid. He lost more in the Arctic wars than anyone, and it left him numb. Now he works in the slums as an expert graysmith - diving into living minds to inject and erase memories- until he meets the shadowy Mr. Ruins.

Ruins offers Ritry a better future, but demands a terrible price: his memories, his morals, and his soul. Ritry must dive deep into his own mind to escape, into a terrifying maze where plastic soldiers man the trenches and massive worms eat all invaders. There, the war for Ritry's uniquely powerful soul will begin.

'Inception' meets 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind', packed with blood, twists and space marines of the mind.

Mr. Ruins is a standalone novel that kicks off the Ruins War trilogy, continued in book 2, King Ruin. If you like The Matrix, Neal Stephenson or Iain M. Banks you'll love it. Scroll up to get your copy now.
