Synchronicity Trilogy Omnibus
by Michael McCloskey
Price: $5.99 USD. 189220 words.
Published on April 13, 2013. Fiction.
Omnibus of the Synchronicity Trilogy. The same story told three times from three radically different points of view: characters in the Western world, the Chinese bloc... and the mysterious Spinners. The tale doesn't read the same each time, and there's plenty of new discoveries along the way to keep it interesting for the second and third points of view.

Smashwords book reviews by Michael McCloskey
- Artefact War
on Sep. 16, 2012
Halses's Rhyka books are gritty, gory, with a lot of action which is just how I like my adventure books. Yet they also have a lot of intrigue and nasty plotting: priests and soldiers alike fight to control what's left of the world. To sum it up, just the right mix of action and intrigue.
