  <default_description>Gideon is a contestant, fighting for his life in a world teetering on chaos. A landscape populated by two hundred kilo augmented raging homicidal maniacs, pansexual harlequin drug lords and messianic sociopaths driven by pulsing neon vistas of salvation smoldering inside their fevered skulls.&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p&gt;Eric Richard Gabrielsen provides a dark, wry, and entertaining look at the biggest issues facing the world today by combining the public hunger for violence, the clash of religions, the rise of biotechnology, and the unintended consequences of globalization.&lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Highly imaginative work. A sci-fi techno thriller that challenges the reader to ponder the impact of religion and where mankind is headed. A lot of violence so it's not a book for the faint of heart. <br/><br/>Like many self-published books it could have used the services of an editor--also far to...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/11028515">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Eric is a fine story teller and his writing style is easy and quick.  I'm not typically a reader of this sort of material, so I'm not sure I'm a good person to evaluate it since I don't really have a good understanding of the genre.  But if you enjoy brave new worlds, intrigue, darkness and some lig...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/24140294">more...</a>]]></body>
