Burn

The corporate-funded police force of Old New York dropped its investigation into a man's mysterious death by fire. Spontaneous human combustion is the rumored cause, but a down-and-out private detective, a former member of the Old New York Police Force, soon learns that this wasn't the only man to die this way.

Now, working with an inhumanly beautiful android 'Netrunner named Jonny Cache, and with a little help from a team of paranormal enthusiasts and a militant group of genetically redesigned women, he must find out who, why, and how the killings are taking place without attracting the wrath of Expedite Corp. and the police force it funds.

In a surreal twenty-first century full of androids, binaries, chip trippers, NewSchool Grrls and Morlocks, black acid rain and StellarNet obsession, we meet Cage, a private detective down on his luck. Kicked off the prestigious Old New York Police Force after having gone up against Expedite, the most powerful computer corporation in the world, he is struggling to make ends meet when fate seems to lend him a helping hand. Fragile Janice Gild comes to him with the story of the death of her brother James, a death so bizarre, Cage can only begin to guess at the method of the gruesome killing, and the motive behind it.

Soon Cage's path is littered with the burnt remains of a seemingly unconnected group of people. Only James' ex-girlfriend, the inhumanly lovely Jonny Cache, can shed any light on the victims who have been made to burn....

Praise for Jonathan Lyons' debut novel, Burn:

"Burn ... is an involving, gripping experience. ... I hope there will be more PI Cage and Jonny Cache adventures in this fascinating, ghastly future." - Science Fiction Chronicle

"Blade Runner-esque, with perpetual darkness and a never-ending drizzle of acid rain" - Cinescape magazine

"Lyons takes the 21st century by the scruff and gives it a two-fisted knuckloid sandwich in the kisser. ... This mix of James Ellroy via William Gibson is fun, raucous stuff." -The Austin Chronicle

" Burn is a horrifying look at what ... unleashed corporate pursuits, can do to our world. As Lyons so aptly conveys in Burn, if ... not kept in check, we could be left with a world with no beauty, no wood, and no humanity left. " -Midwest Book Review

"Burn is a genre defying story which intentionally transcends boundaries. Jonathan Lyons critically examines many hot issues, including: traditional gender roles, AI and the boundaries of humanity, white/western privilege, transnationalism, and environmental commodification." -Reader review, Amazon

"A futuristic work with sophisticated themes of capitalism in its final stages of thuggism and the globe in its final stages of life." -Ann Brandon, editor, Invisible Cities Press
