About the book . . .
Two years have passed since Agent Thomas Walken and Bobbi January found
themselves at the heart of a conspiracy of unimaginable greed and cruelty.
The Genefex Corporation remains shrouded in mystery, and Bobbi faces a
life of unanswered questions and mounting disillusionment to look forward
to. But when she receives a mysterious message from one of Walken’s former
comrades, she is drawn back onto the trail. Now, Bobbi will find herself
newly equipped to discover the truth – about Walken, about Genefex and the
Yathi race – and the key to unlocking those secrets rests in the hands of
a cyborg terrorist known only as Redeye.
But the road to truth will be a dangerous one, from the glamour of
Seattle’s ultramodern core to the sprawling wastelands of the Old City and
beyond. Alongside a band of lethal comrades, Bobbi will face death and
worse amidst urban rot, bandoned subway tunnels, and ultimately the
nightmarish halls of the Yathi themselves in a race to stave off what may
prove to be the death of humanity itself. Drenched in blood and neon,
Redeye is a tale of humanity on the edge of a new and terrible reality.

REDEYE is the second book in the Wonderland trilogy, of which BONES WIRES
was an extension of that universe but independent of the trilogy. The
first book, SHADOW OF A DEAD STAR, was well-received by readers and
currently has a four-star average rating on Goodreads from sixty-four
ratings. BONE WIRES is equally well-received with a four-star average from
forty ratings.

Reader review . . .
Bobbi January is still mourning the loss of Thomas Walken when she receives a request for help. Now, Bobbi seeks to discover the truth regarding the disappearance of Walken. When she discovers a cover up by Genefex Corporation, Bobbi enlists the assistance of her friend and employee, Marcus. After Bobbi meets Redeye, born a girl but made a machine, she joins in her mission to save the world from the Yathi race.
This is not a light, beach read, but for fans of the Wonderland Cycle as well as fans of sci-fi and cyberpunk, this will be perfect. A dark and gritty novel, Shean has created an complex futuristic world which, thanks to his excellent writing skills, is readily imaginable to the reader. I especially appreciate any male author who can create strong female characters, as he has done.
My congratulations to Mr. Shean on another well-written novel.

Michael Shean Biography
Michael
Shean was born amongst the sleepy hills and coal mines of southern West
Virginia in 1978. Taught to read by his parents at a very early age,
he has had a great love of the written word since the very beginning of
his life. Growing up, he was often plagued with feelings of isolation
and loneliness; he began writing off and on to help deflect this, though
these themes are often explored in his work as a consequence. At the
age of 16, Michael began to experience a chain of vivid nightmares that
has continued to this day; it is from these aberrant dreams that he
draws inspiration.
In 2001 Michael left West Virginia to pursue a career in the tech industry, and he settled in the Washington, DC area as a web designer and graphic artist. As a result his writing was put aside and not revisited until five years later. In 2006 he met his wife, who urged him to pick up his writing once more.Though the process was very frustrating at first, in time the process of polishing and experimentation yielded the core of what would become his first novel, Shadow of a Dead Star. In 2009 the first draft of book was finished although it would not be until 2011 he would be satisfied enough with the book to release it. Several years of work and experimentation yielded the core of what would become his first novel, Shadow of a Dead Star (2011). Michael is currently signed with Curiosity Quills Press, who has overtaken publication of Shadow of a Dead Star and the other books of his Wonderland Cycle.
Michael’s work is extensively character-driven, but also focuses on building engaging worlds in which those characters interact. His influences include H.P. Lovecraft, William Gibson, Cormac McCarthy, Philip K. Dick, and Clark Ashton Smith.
