Endless Hunger
The new world is full of wireless technologies, medical marvels, and advanced security.
It's 2133, and Earth has rebuilt after a global catastrophe.
Megacities, wireless tech, and augmented humans are all commonplace. What isn't common, is Kraft. Kraft sees monsters. This tends to get him in trouble, especially when the rest of the world doesn't believe they exist. For Kraft, even an easy job like cleaning a corporation's computer system involves a dark cult, a battle with faeries, and a computer virus that reaches into the real world.
"A lot of what I believe makes Endless Hunger stand out is how it deals with the multiple genres it spans. The world that New Montreal exists in is built upon sci-fi technologies (Wireless communication, smart clothing, advanced security), but Kraft is dealing with fantasy problems (Faeries, vampires, wizards). Rather than juxtaposing the elements of science and magic, my work looks at the parallels. It sees how those parts of each genre can mix to create something new." - Kevin Weir, author

Praise:
"Weir's debut is a riveting, genre-blending adventure that will keep you guessing on every page." - Jodi McIsaac, author of The Thin Veil series
"Endless Hunger is a delightful combination of believably-constructed SF future tech and dark fantasy, all wrapped together into a noir mystery. The book doesn't stop there: the nature of identity, of love, and of humanity are all questioned as Kraft fights demons and outsmarts mega-corporation CEOs. A fast-paced book full of twists and turns that readers will devour (pun intended)." - Susan Forest, Aurora Award-winning editor of Strangers Among Us
Reviews:
"I really enjoyed the mythology of this post-apocalypse New Montreal. It’s busy, high tech and shiny, but if you go out of the "safe" zones, the after effects of war are evident - collapsed buildings, radiation, and an increase of things that go bump in the night." - Kim, All Things Urban Fantasy
"Kevin Weir has an excellent writing style. The story smoothly moves along with clear descriptions and with a good story line." - SFBaker
" I was looking for urban fantasy along the lines of Kim Harrison or Jim Butcher. This book delivered." - Shelley"
"This is a good mix of the worlds of Ogres, Fairies, Wizards and Technology." - S. Merritt
"Mr. Weir has done a beautiful job at marrying science fiction and fantasy in a way that makes you want to question once more if magic could indeed be real, and hiding under our noses. If you love fantasy, action, futuristic cities, and the analytical thinking of a roguish detective, then this book is for you!" - Stephanie van Steenoven
"ENDLESS HUNGER by Kevin Weir is a rocket-fueled tale with tremendous crossover appeal to avid readers of both science fiction and fantasy." - Philip Vernon
"If your looking for a page turner, join Kraft along on his adventure as he is strung along on a job that has more twists and turns then dinner with my parents." - Alisha Marie
"It is easy to lose yourself in this novel because Kevin uses great description that really helps you visualize not only the setting but also the characters." - Brittany McEachern
"This book gets rolling quickly and doesn’t slow down after that. Somehow, it manages to mash futuristic tech and the fantasy world of demons and fairies together in a way that’s plausible and thoroughly enjoyable." - Ricko, amazon
