""This astounding novel with a swiftly paced narrative and a philosophical look at artificial intelligence asks some serious existential questions. Sf readers will find this title of great interest.""—Booklist review ""Brilliantly cinematic with twist after layered twist, Edge of the Wire is a novel that straps you in for a fantastic ride and keeps you guessing until the very end. It’s Golden Age Sci-Fi meets The Matrix, with a danger level to rival Alien. You’ll be thinking about this one for days after you turn the last page. This is the best SF novel I’ve read in years. Yeah, Edge of the Wire is that good.""—John Everson, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Night Mother ""A thrilling mix of cerebral and survival sci-fi horror, Scott Kenemore's Edge of the Wire is a compulsively readable peek into the far future of humanity's dependence on AI technology, a ubiquitous force with a name—The Goo—that closely resembles ""God"" for a reason. Event Horizon meets Annihilation as we follow a crew of men to an alien planet where something terrible befell the previous ship that landed there, leaving its crew dead. The mysteries of the planet, however, contain more than the crew bargained for: mysteries that probe the very nature of consciousness and what it means to be human. This is thoughtful space horror at its finest.""—Jo Kaplan, author of It Will Just Be Us and When the Night Bells Ring ""A master storyteller carefully guiding you through a dark descent into the unknown.""—John Hornor Jacobs, author of Southern Gods and A Lush and Seething Hell ""Scott Kenemore expertly evokes the golden age of sci-fi to weave a bloody mystery as timely as our modern age.""—Christopher Hawkins, author of Downpour “Scott Kenemore writes with a deadpan wit that makes you keep turning pages.” – The Cleveland Plain Dealer (for Zombie, Ohio) ""Kenemore creates an authentic sense of place and character. . .as well as wittily sustained tension throughout."" – Publishers Weekly (starred review for Zombie, Illinois) “I think Scott Kenemore might be one of the best literary stylists working in the horror field right now. Horror in the heartland has a new master scribe, and his name is Scott Kenemore!” – Joe McKinney, Bram Stoker Award–winning author of The Savage Dead and Dog Days (for Zombie, Indiana)
