False Gods in Brass Cathedrals : DIRECTIVE TANTALUS
The Story
In Aether City, truth is a crime, and Victor Harlan used to be its enforcer. Once a trusted agent of the Directorate’s Internal Science Authority, Victor disappeared after uncovering a conspiracy too monstrous to ignore: families erased from memory, entire districts wiped clean, and the city’s population pacified by chemical obedience. Now presumed dead, Victor survives at the bottom rungs of the city, hiding in shadows beneath towers that stretch into the clouds.
When Elira, a ghost from his past, steps back into his life carrying evidence the Directorate missed, Victor is forced to make a choice: keep running, or turn and fight a regime that knows no mercy.
Set in a brutal dieselpunk metropolis in 1932 where analog machines govern lives that never existed, False Gods in Brass Cathedrals is a noir thriller about memory, guilt, and rebellion. For fans of Blade Runner, Sin City, and 1984, this is a story about the cost of waking up and the war that begins when one man decides not to forget.

What Authors Are Saying
It is one of those books that can be read in one breath! His descriptions are some of the best I have read. You feel like you are there, on the spot, seeing and experiencing everything. I will definitely have this in my collection of Sci Fi action books.
Orwellian in structure, Philip K. Dick in spirit, Blade Runner in atmosphere. A heavy descent through smoke, faith, and rebellion. False Gods in Brass Cathedrals burns with the same fire as Fahrenheit 451.
A good old fashioned detective story with a lot of action. What makes it different from other noir stories is the rich world building and the dieselpunk atmosphere.
