'One of the best Stephen King novels not written by the master himself' - New York Times ******************* The dark net is an online shadowland for criminals to operate anonymously, but when a demonic force begins to hack the minds of its users there is nowhere left to hide. Twelve-year-old Hannah has been fitted with a high-tech prosthetic that restores her sight, but can't understand why she can now see shadows surrounding certain people. Lela, an emotionally shut-off, technophobic journalist stumbles onto a story nobody wants her to uncover. A story someone will kill to keep hidden. A former evangelist, Mike, suffers demons - figurative and literal - and keeps an arsenal of weapons stored in the basement of the homeless shelter he runs. And Derek, is a hacker who believes himself a soldier, part of a cyber army dedicated to changing the world for the better. With the virus spreading throughout the net and an ancient evil threatening to break lose on the real world, it falls to these strangers to stop the rising darkness. THE DARK NET is a cracked-mirror version of the digital nightmare we already live in, a timely and wildly imaginative techno-thriller about the evil that lurks in real and virtual spaces, and the power of a united few to fight back.

A brainchild between Clive Barker, Greg Bear, and Edward Lee, The Dark Net scared the hell out of me. Percy keeps at it, reinforcing this paranoid fear by doing what great horror writers of his caliber are known for: they make you believe the stories they write. If only for a moment, and that moment is more than enough. With fantastic execution, Percy slithers fragments of this horror into the reader's subconscious, making them experience things on an imaginative level. Something you couldn't explain. Dismiss. Ignore.
However, it would be illogical of me to keep comparing certain aspects or elements of The Dark Net to other existing work, because put simply: it is nothing like your average run of the mill sci-fi horror book. Read that again. Sci-fi horror. I don't scour the web every two minutes or delve into the vast multitude of sub-genres (horror steampunk being a new trend you'll be seeing soon) but I'm quite certain not many mainstream novels have quite wholly embraced horror and science fiction as a combined ingredient. Naturally you'll find a few if you look carefully enough, then again not many would risk it for the sake of juggling two very different and yet eerily similar genres (here's looking at you, Dead Space) in the hopes of producing something that would be an instant hit.
The Dark Net, from a technical perspective in regards to character development, plot, and motive, is perfect.
