Cloud 9: Black Eyed Demons
It came with every breath, on every touch, and in every swallow.
It changed all life on earth.
All that was green is now red. The animals rebel with suicidal savagery. Genetic disorders are suddenly and miraculously cured. Super plagues have become pandemic and Chaos envelopes the earth.
It came from a previously unknown Stellar Cloud. The earth has passed near this Stellar Cloud before. In fact, it does every 25800 years. Only this time around… it went into it.
The world didn’t listen to the prophetic foretelling. They might have…if they had known the Stellar Cloud contained the building blocks of life. They might have …if they had known it was a Stellar Cloud of RNa.
Ribonucleic Acid: The catalyst, the key to the diversity of life and the backbone of every Virus ever imagined.
Wrapped in cocoons, the new gods are at the most vulnerable state in their evolutionary transformation. Their protectors, once human, are known as the Black Eyed Demons. They are stronger, faster and smarter than ever. They are the most ruthless, cold blooded killers ever created.
The Black Eyed Demons protect the Cocoons from what is left of the world, but who protects the world from the Black Eyed Demons. Change comes in many forms and only a handful of them are good.
Cloud 9 is an epic tale told through the protecting eyes of many; each unique yet uncannily familiar. It is a view of the world where the heroes are psychopaths, the mass of the population are infected, and the new gods transform inside cocoons. It is raw and guttural with the darkest of humor surrounding it.
Prepare yourself, it will take your personal demons and make them psychotic.

I received this book to give an honest review.
I would have given this book a solid five as I really enjoyed how people's DNA changed and it is not into something good and I really loved how the animals changed too. The whole catfish scene even though that was towards the end really got me.
I had to give it a four because well I felt that there were too many characters going on within the story. Yes I understood why each character had their own part within the story but, for me it was one way too many.
When Stellar Cloud RNa comes about it turns everything red and not in a good way. People will have to survive and even those that do survive are not human they have changed. Their job is protect the cocoons that will come about in this new world. Yet we are not told too much if these cocoons are used for the greater good or not just that they need to be protected.
There was a bit of sci-fi and horror mixed up within these pages. If you like a bit of both then check this book out.

Not Your Typical Science Fiction Story
This is not the type of book I would regularly read. I am not a fan of Science Fiction. That being said the author has taken alot of the reasons I hate it out of this book. It isn't a stuffy made up words book. There are many paragraphs I have shared with friends because they made me laugh. I have never came across that in a sci-fi book. It isnt all laughs. This book is about Cocomeh it is a toxic cloud that passes over earth. And in doing so it causes havoc. It effects people differently. If you have a weak stomach when it comes to blood and gore, this book might not be for you.

I purchased this book on the recommendation of the author after I read a brilliantly written post on his Facebook page. I recognized that Reierson had talent, so I asked him which of his books I should start with. He recommended Cloud 9: Black Eyed Demons. I purchased it right away.
I started reading without any idea of what type of book it was. After a somewhat clumsy setup, the book switched into high gear, and it became clear what type of book I was reading: an apocalyptic zombie novel. Groan. I'm kinda tired of the whole zombie genre. But I kept reading, and I found the book increasingly entertaining. Reierson injects new life into the zombie novel, and he won me over with the sheer exuberance of his writing. In many ways, the book's writing style reminded me of early Stephen King: raw but heartfelt, crude but brilliantly imagined.
It's a zombie novel, so there's plenty of gore to go around. Reierson also has a delightfully demented sense of humor, so I laughed more at this book than at some comedic novels I've read recently. I spotted a few typos and some sloppy writing, all things that could have been corrected by a good editor, but they didn't affect my enjoyment of the book, and in fact they added to the book's charm. All in all, Cloud 9: Black Eyed Demons was a satisfying read. I'll definitely plunk down a few bucks for the sequel.

Finished it and it was everything I hoped it would be and so much more. I really enjoyed knowing that I knew some of the characters personally. Made it that much more enjoyable. I can't wait to rip into the next one. I hope you know I'm expecting you to sign that one too! I love your work. Please keep doing what you do!
