<b>PRAISE FOR SAKURA</b> <p>"An epic story about a heavy-metal, super-ninja android during a cyberpunk apocalypse. It's the best possible memorial for Zachary Hill and everything he thought was awesome. Tracy and Genesse did a fantastic job finishing this excellent book filled with samurai robots, evil megacorporations, jetpacks, espionage, hacker battles, anime fights, cyber nukes, bullet bikes-all with a badass, headbanging, horn-throwing, stage-diving soundtrack, blessed by the goddess of heavy metal herself. I loved it."<br>-Larry Correia, NYT bestselling author of HOUSE OF ASSASSINS <p>"A hard-rocking literary mosh pit about a heavy-metal android who becomes both the hero and villain of a brutal cyberpunk thriller. Sakura is loaded with more computers, guns, music, and hard-edged futurism than any five other books working together, and it gives you both barrels straight to the face. STOP HOGGING ALL THE AWESOME, SAKURA; LET THE REST OF US HAVE SOME."-Dan Wells, NYT bestselling author of BLUESCREEN" <p>"Sakura: Intellectual Property lands like a power chord from a world-class rock opera. From the first chapter, we are card-carrying members of the Sakura fan club. The story is tighter than a lead guitarist's E string and twice as resonant. Any fan of outstanding science fiction will be rocked. Just press 'play' on Sakura."<br>-Michael Darling, #1 Amazon Bestselling Author of GOT LUCK" <p>Sakura is a myth-tinted, hard-rock Japanese cyberpunk thriller that starts with a bang and gets louder. Full of mystery, mayhem, guitars, and swagger, recommended for readers who like THINGS THAT ARE AWESOME."<br>-D.J. Butler, author of WITCHY EYE" <p>Heavy metal with hints of Ghost in the Shell, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, and the Illuminati. It's a super fun ride."<br>-Joe Monson, coeditor of TRACE THE STARS" <p>A cybernetic tour de force starring a plucky heavy-metal heroine-in which we find out if music really can save us all."<br>-Julie Frost, award-winning author of the PACK DYNAMICS series" <p>"A stunning book, and not only because of its fast-paced, action-driven story, thrilling plot twists, gorgeous illustrations, and meticulously crafted playlists that engage the readers' senses in ways other books never could."<br>-Dr. Masha Shukovich, multiple award-winning author <p>"A high-octane story, fueled by rocket-grade heavy metal. Sakura: Intellectual Property tells a high-tech tale of intrigue, action, and rock and roll. The main character, an android/rock star/Manchurian candidate, is written in vivid 3-D. This book is a page-turner from beginning to end. It reads like a full-stack Marshall amplifier. If I could, I would plug my guitar right into this book and shake down the rafters." <br>-Craig Nybo, author, musician, and creator of CHOPS: THE OFFICIAL GUIDEBOOK TO AN ALTERNATE ROCK AND ROLL UNIVERSE <p><b>About the Book</b><br><b><br><b>SAKURA</b> is the most famous android rock star of all time.
