Science fiction novels By Johan M. Dahlgren

The story is brilliantly told in a way that leaves the reader constantly guessing who is on the side of good as opposed to evil.

Under a Dark Sky Worldburner Book 1

Under a Dark Sky is a hardboiled dystopian cyberpunk thriller, in the vein of Richard K. Morgan's Altered Carbon. Genetic engineering, all-powerful mega-corporations, hard-talking antiheroes and even harder women are the stuff of legends yet untold. They are also the backbone of the Worldburner universe.

With its gritty tone, dark sense of humor and colourful gallery of characters, its really got it all.

Lots of action, lots of humor, and main characters that you would love to hang out with (if you could while no one was trying to kill you).

Under a Winter Sun Worldburner Book 2

Under a Winter Sun is the action packed sequel to Under a Dark Sky, and moves into more of a military science fiction pace, while still keeping the cyberpunk thriller elements and never straying far from the concepts of hard sci-fi.

Totally digging this Van Helsing meets James Bond intro for book 2. I think it sets the stage perfectly for what's coming.

I certainly heard the thunder as I opened this book.

Under a Demon Star Worldburner Book 3

I am currently in the process of outlining the third and final novel in the Worldburner Suite, chronicling the adventures of Asher Perez and his band of unlikely friends.
Most of the major pieces are in place, and now, all I need to do is find the time to write the damn thing... I had hoped this Covid thing would give me more time to write when I don't have to commute to work, but alas, that has not been the case.
I can't wait for number three!
