Summary
Rod Rees: Half-World Spring
Dark shadows continue to loom over Half-World, a computer simulation that has gotten out of control and is increasingly threatening the real world. In its virtual spheres, the heroines from the first sequel, the daughter of the President of the USA Norma Williams and Ella Thomas, who was sent to Half-World to bring Norma back to reality, were trapped. In the meantime, it's getting quite bloody in Half the World: the soldiers of Heydrich's Solid Reich are marching into Paris, and the long-forgotten evil represented by the mythical Lilith is reawakening. And while her savior sinks into the abyss, Norma Williams leads a resistance movement. Lost in the nightmare of Half the World, she must face the terrible responsibility and betrayal of her friends. He has no choice, because if he doesn't win in this supernatural computer world, both worlds will face dire consequences.
Halfworld: Spring is the sequel to Rod Rees's blockbuster Halfworld: Winter, a masterful combination of science fiction novel and thriller. PoluSvijet is a series full of excitement, and its second part will keep its readers in suspense until the very end... and beyond.
This is a truly fantastic continuation of the series and I am very grateful to Rod Rees for not disappointing his readers.

Incredibly entertaining.
The Times
Like a labyrinth, darkly ingenious just like the previous novel... Rees' rich imagination, wordplay and prose imbued with neologisms self-consciously rise before the reader.
Daily Mail
The world created by Rod Rees is a psychopathic nightmare, while Ella, by contrast, is a touchingly vulnerable heroine who is exposed to dangers to body and psyche in her quest.
The Guardian
This novel will attract readers of true SF as well as lovers of steampunk.
