THE CONCLUSION TO THE LANDMARK SERIES!

The Defense and Wellness Council is enmeshed in full-scale civil war between Len Borda and the mysterious Magan Kai Lee. Quell has escaped from prison and is stirring up rebellion in the Islands with the aid of a brash young leader named Josiah. Jara and the apprentices of the Surina/Natch MultiReal Fiefcorp still find themselves fighting off legal attacks from their competitors and from Margaret Surina's unscrupulous heirs -- even though MultiReal has completely vanished.

The quest for the truth will lead to the edges of civilization, from the tumultuous society of the Pacific Islands to the lawless orbital colony of 49th Heaven; and through the deeps of time, from the hidden agenda of the Surina family to the real truth behind the Autonomous Revolt that devastated humanity hundreds of years ago.

Meanwhile, Natch has awakened in a windowless prison with nothing but a haze of memory to clue him in as to how he got there. He's still receiving strange hallucinatory messages from Margaret Surina and the nature of reality is buckling all around him. When the smoke clears, Natch must make the ultimate decision - whether to save a world that has scorned and discarded him, or to save the only person he has ever loved: himself.

Reviews:

Praise for the Jump 225 Trilogy:

INFOQUAKE:

“Slick high-finance melodrama and dizzying technical speculation lift Edelman's SF debut, the first of a trilogy....Bursting with invention and panache, this novel will hook readers for the story's next installment.” - Publishers Weekly

“[T]he genre might not be quite the same after this book ... a stunning debut novel by a lucid, precise, and talented new voice in the genre.... With an already impressive list of authors in their stable, Pyr looks to have nabbed one of, if not, the next big thing in Science Fiction. This may be THE science fiction book of the year.” - SFFWorld.com

"A high-speed, high-spirited tale of capitalist skullduggery." - Asimov's

MULTIREAL:

"Edelman brings fresh air to the technological thriller....MultiReal itself is firmly established as one of the most fascinating singularity technologies in years, and the inconclusive feel of this installment will build anticipation for the third Jump 225 book."

"The Matrix meets Boston Legal.... A true page-turner that I could not put down...."
