Nevertheless, Deus Ex Writer Publishes eBook
ION STORM, AUSTIN (June 15, 2000) — As the release of Ion Storm's widely anticipated RPG/shooter Deus Ex approaches, the game's writer is offering his own work as an exclusive on the Internet at www.sheldonpacotti.com. His novel, Demiurge, published by Booklocker.com, will be the first of two books to become available this summer.
"I wrote Demiurge during the heyday of Doom, in 1994, so 3D gaming was certainly an influence. Unemployed and trying to finish the novel before my money ran out, I spent my last $300 playing deathmatch over a modem with my friend in New Mexico. Sometimes a piece of computer entertainment completely sweeps you away and takes over your life. In Demiurge, a Doom-like seduction is preying upon the world's people, a new species of seduction, mythical in its range and destructiveness."
For a more detailed introduction to Demiurge, including a preface and the opening pages of the novel, visit www.sheldonpacotti.com, or contact Sheldon Pacotti directly for an interview or a reviewer's copy.
