Pandemonium: Live to
All Devices by Bill Harvey is spellbinding science fiction with a
strong appeal to fans of espionage. In the near future, the world is threatened
by a third world war. Perse is an insane terrorist, a dangerous
psychic, who has taken over power in Iran and he plans to take control of the
entire world. Meanwhile, an equally insane president in the US seizes full
control of power in the US, including its missiles, the banking system, the power
grid, and electronic devices. A robotic replica of the president sits at the
presidency while he hides in a bunker that is nuke-proof. The tension grows by
the minute and as the nuclear apocalypse becomes impending, two psychic
soldiers become the hope of humanity — Ed Templegard, who discovered his
psychic powers when assigned to spy on the U.S. paramilitary psychic team,
Theta Force, and seventeen-year-old Nastassia Slayevsky, the best psychic
soldier in Russia. With mounting tension across different parts of the world,
can these two psychic warriors stop the worst from befalling the Earth?
Deftly plotted and expertly executed, Pandemonium: Live to All Devices contains
all the elements that readers look for in good SF. The characters are
larger-than-life, robust, and believable; the prose is gorgeous and littered
with vivid descriptions and captivating dialogues. The author creates a world
in which science has evolved greatly, with artificial reality permeating almost
every aspect of human life, especially the area of advertisement. The author
creates neologisms such as “hallucinads” to describe the virtual experience in a
science-driven setting. The conflict is stunningly imagined and wonderfully
written, and it reads like a warning of what could happen if nuclear power
falls into the wrong hands. This immersive tale features all forms of
characters mixed in the fray — psychic enemies, Nazis, and a despotic US
president who seems to care only about himself. Brimming with social and
political commentaries, this science fiction re-examines the geopolitical
crisis that punctuates the life of the world and communicates a warning of
where we might be headed in the near future. It is a cleverly written novel
that entertains readers while provoking reflection in them, a dazzling SF with
an explosive conflict and characters that are unforgettable, as delightful as
any good book should be.

There is a particular kind of silence that falls in the early hours — not the absence of sound, but the quiet rearrangement of the world before it begins again. A kettle sighs. The light finds its way through the window in thin, precise strokes. In that stilln...
