Innes (ed.), Making Sense of Proxy Wars: States, Surrogates & the Use of Force (Washington, DC: Potomac Books, 2012).Ī Futile Attempt to Make Sense of Proxy WarsĪt the end of the Cold War, and especially in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks, the study of war gradually shifted from a realist-dominated, state-centric discourse to emphasise instead the role of non-state actors and asymmetric dynamics in conflict.
The ebook is exclusive to Amazon, the other formats are not. I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed writing it.įORMATS: the book will be available in paperback, hardback and ebook. I think it's easily as good as Echogenesis, while being an entirely different kind of story. So the decision to follow up with Proxy was an easy decision.
In the meantime, the publishing industry continued to shift and warp in the face of continuous and seismic shifts in the market, and vast swathes of talented editors and midlist writers found themselves navigating unfamiliar waters as publishers underwent yet more corporate mergers.īeing not unfamiliar with independent publishing, having spent a chunk of the early 90s editing and co-editing a range of micro-press science fiction magazines and comics, I took the plunge in 2021 and published Echogenesis through my own Brain in a Jar Books imprint.Īnd what do you know? It sold - and continues to sell - like gangbusters. I spent the next several years looking for a publisher for both Proxy and Field of Bones - by now renamed Echogenesis - to no avail. I originally submitted an outline of Proxy to my old publishers way back in 2015, along with an outline for another book then called Field of Bones, only to find myself dropped by my publisher shortly before the publication of what would be my last book for them, Survival Game. What they each discover on the streets of a near-future London crippled by multiple pandemics has the potential to change the course of civilisation.so long as they can stop the wrong people getting their hands on it first.
Proxy dealer Elijah wants to know who's trying to kill him, and how it's connected to a new kind of proxy that's hit the streets. When Ray Thomas is hired to find the daughter of his sworn enemy, the private detective soon learns there's more to the illegal bio-implant technology known as proxy than body-swapping. But those who like my stuff because of the focus on outrageous technological speculation are likely to find plenty here to satisfy them. And some other things I won't say for fear of giving too much away. It's just as much a crime novel set a few decades from now, and a novel about corporate conspiracy. While not strictly 'cyberpunk', the focus, nonetheless, is on a technology for which the street has found its own uses, so it's broadly applicable. Set in mid-21st Century London, it tells the story of a struggle for control of a wildly popular – and mostly illegal – body-swapping technology called 'proxy'.
