    About this ebook

    A decade after a lethal computer virus called PeaceMaker roared across the internet leaving hundreds of thousands of people dead, a war is raging between science and religion, the world wallows in a global depression, and the United States government is paralyzed, unable to intervene. The secretive and powerful Domain is poised to take humankind to the next level of evolution through artificial intelligence, and the fanatical Church of Natural Humans has marshaled their forces to stop them.

    David Brown, the son of PeaceMaker's creator, believes that his father was set up to take the fall for the catastrophe, and was murdered to keep him quiet. Determined to clear his father's name and avenge his killers, David stumbles into the war between the rival factions. Hunted by both sides, he unravels his father's secrets and discovers a genetic capability within himself that may change the path of human evolution. This fast-paced, techno thriller depicts a world of violent extremes, where religious terrorists and visionaries of technology fight for supreme power.

    Dan Ronco

    I was raised in Newark, NJ, then and now a tough place to grow up. My parents were hard-working people who wanted the best for my sister and me. I was in and out of trouble, but somehow did well enough to be accepted into the local college (now New Jersey Institute of Technology). I had great friends --- like brothers --- and we still remain close after all these years.After graduating college with a degree in chemical engineering, I attended Columbia University on a fellowship and earned a masters degree in nuclear engineering. It was my ticket out of Newark; I went to work for GE in Schenectady designing nuclear reactors for submarines, but it did not fit my temperment. On the other hand, developing computer programs to support the design effort was great fun. I had found my calling.I also found the love of my life in Schenectady. By sheer dumb luck, I moved to a garden apartment complex and took an apartment below two pretty girls. One invited me up for a drink; the other girl I married.1972 was a busy year: Lin and I were married, I earned a masters in computer science at RPI and accepted a job as a consultant with Arthur Andersen. Lin and I traveled the country as Andersen sent me out on consulting assignments over the next four years. I loved the work and we both enjoyed the traveling, but when our first daughter was born in San Diego, we decided it was time to put down roots.We moved to north Jersey, had our second daughter, then moved to south Jersey, where our son was born. I continued working as a consultant for the next twenty years, traveling maybe 25% of the time. These were busy years, but I loved my family and enjoyed my work. I became a partner at one of the large accounting/consulting firms, managed a software consulting business for five years with two partners, and then joined Microsoft to build a consulting business along the east coast.As much as I enjoyed helping clients build better software, something was missing. For years, I had been thinking about writing novels, but there was never any time. I wasn't getting any younger, so I left the consulting business and dedicated myself to becoming a novelist.And I had an idea.What if a great (fictional) software company lost an anti-trust lawsuit and was ripped apart by the DOJ? What if the leaders of this once-great company decided to have their revenge by building an intelligent, deadly software predator into their flagship software product? That's the premise of PeaceMaker, my first novel.Having an idea is one thing, but writing a novel is a whole different issue. It's a marathon, especially for a first-time novelist. I lost count of the time I put into PeaceMaker, but I'm proud of the final product. When Winterwolf decided to publish it, I was thrilled. The critics reviewed it favorably, and the vast majority of readers enjoyed it as well..My second novel, Unholy Domain, was released in 2008 by Kunati Publishing. Here's the concept: David Brown, a brilliant but troubled young man, was raised in the dark shadow of his long-dead father, a software genius who unleashed a computer virus that murdered thousands. When David receives a decade-old email that indicates his father may have been framed, he plunges into a gut-wrenching race with the real killers to discover the truth about his father ' and himself.Released August, 2010, my third novel, 2031: The Singularity Pogrom explores humanity's next great evolutionary challenge. Set in a violent near-future,2031 is a clash of wills between software genius Ray Brown, his gifted son David, and megolomaniac Dianne Morgan, Ray's one-time lover.This section turned out to be longer than I planned, but I hope you found it interesting.And there won't be a rewrite.

      Review of member giveaway ebookThis techno-thriller starts a few years after the events in ‘Peacemaker’ but works well as a stand alone novel. Set in a world drastically altered by the chaos caused by the rogue AI attack. With fanatical anti-technology religious sects and shadowy manipulation by the covert organisation Domain; Dan the son of the main protagonist in ‘Peacemaker’ tries to uncover the truth about his father.This is a fast paced entertaining read.
    • 4/5
      ‘Unholy Domain’ can be best described as a science fiction techno-thriller combined with speculative fiction. This is the second book in a trilogy, set between ‘Peacemaker’ and ‘2031: The Singularity Pogrom’. I have to date not read the other two in the series, but did not find this a hindrance while reading this book. References are made to ‘Peacemaker’, yet they are fairly self-explanatory.Set in a highly believable Gibson-style dystopian future where humanity is fighting itself over the use of technology: this novel brings into focus long held fears of what would happen to humanity if technology went too far. Or if we lost our access to technology and reverted back to a time before we were so reliant on it. There are classic Marxist similes in this novel and it is easy to see the disparity between rich and poor, religious and capitalist etc. This novel creates a future that is not so different from human history and some nations at present and utilises themes that are likely to follow humanity for many more centuries.The world is a very different place from our own, society and its infrastructure are falling into disrepair. Humanity is split and there are two battling factions (the Domain and the Church of Natural Humans) who are not too perturbed over the body count they create. Religion and science are pitted against each other both fighting for control of the people. The American government is weak and the public are confused and afraid.Ten years previously the PeaceMaker virus crippled the internet, left thousands of people dead and the world in its greatest depression. In response to this governments put a hold on technological advancement and left the people with crumbling services and cities. Technology is only available to those who can afford black market prices and everyone else only has access to technology from prior to the PeaceMaker attack, which is speedily becoming irreparable.David Brown is the son of the man accused of creating the PeaceMaker virus and has spent his life haunted by his father’s crime and victimised for believing in technology. He is swept into the war between science and religion upon the receipt of a time delayed email from his dead father. In an attempt to find out more about his father he contacts the few people left alive who knew him and quickly gets the top spot on the both factions’ hit lists. It is up to David to find out who caused the PeaceMaker virus, avenge his father’s murder and clear his name. In doing so David discovers that he has a gift that could change the path of human evolution and bring us all closer to technology.This is a gripping tale that reminds us of our dependency on technology and reaffirms fears of what would happen if terrorists were able to affect the internet and consequently financial markets and our own personal electronic data. A highly recommended read.
    • 4/5
      This is a novel that really causes the reader to take a step back, look out the window, and think. A possible prophetic message, the author crafts a realistic future for mankind. Do we depend on technology too much? Do we use technology as a crutch? The author creates a very realistic novel, the computer technology appears all to real and the reader cannot dismiss the valid questions and facts discussed in the book. A disconnect in communication for the people on this Earth currently would be disastrous, and yet, technology itself is a fairly new development. The characters are fresh and help to draw the reader in, the plot is by far one of the best this reader has come across in the science fiction genre, and the overall book is both enjoyable and disturbing. The novel is very fast-paced, contains intrigue and action, and is a guaranteed good-read for anyone (young adult-adult) who enjoys science fiction.

      To The Point Review: Book 2 of the Domain Trilogy did not disappoint. This is a sequel that is better than the first book.Full Review: Dan Ronco's vision of the future is an interesting one indeed. In his first book, Peacemaker, we were introduced to a computer geek, Ray Brown, who battled a group called the Domain, who, not surprisingly, were planning on ruling the world. Now we fast forward 10 years into the future, the Domain has reorganized and Ray's son, David, finds himself battling the Domain and trying to thwart their plan of world dominance (sound familiar?). This is a fast paced, well written cyber thriller, that causes you to think, "I'll read just one more chapter!" Character development is improved in the second installment of this trilogy and the author has refrained from adding filler to the narrative (one of my few complaints in the first book). What I really found interesting was the development of the religion versus technology theme throughout the story. The Church of Natural Humans is anti-technology supported in part by a government that is scared of technology (a result of the struggle depicted in the first book). Currently the world is in an economics depression. The Domain and some members of the population feel that technology is the only answer to pulling the world out of this depression. This sets up numerous interactions between the Church and the Techies giving the author (and the reader) the opportunity to explore the phiosophical issues driving both groups. This is a book any techno-thriller reader should enjoy. I know I look forward to reading the last installment of the Domain Triolgy.

      "Unholy Domain" is a fast-paced, page turner written by Dan Ronco. Technology isn't my usual genre but this book found me eager to continue reading! The story is set in a futuristic time when a computer virus has virtually ruined society. Ronco ties in region and technology to make a utterly convincing and gripping novel. I'm anxious for the next book!
    • 3/5
      Good read, fast paced book full of character and action. Even though I am not into this kind of story telling i had to say that i did enjoy myself reading it.
    • 4/5
      Unholy Domain is set in the future and talks about a society that is all but collapsed due to a computer virus that caused a world wide crisis; his first novel Peacemaker covers this attack.. The book looks at two groups in society that evolve due to this virus attack. You have a religious group that believes that technology is Satan's work and the technology group who believes that we haven't gone far enough in our use of technology. Dan Ranco does a good job in describing the battle between the two groups to take control of humanities destiny. The main character, David, gives us the opportunity to question whether humans are still capable of evolutionary changes.While the story line had a good flow I did find it a little unbelievable that it was only 2022. In my opinion it was hard to believe that a society could make the progress in computers and androids that was shown in Unholy Domain while going backward by fifty plus years in the infrastructures of cities and businesses. I also agree with another reviewer that it was unbelievable that the women in David's life would fall for him so quickly. While the book was hard to believe in some instances, I did enjoy reading the book and am looking forward to the next installment. I found the idea of the main character evolving into a new kind of human intriguing and will take the time to read his first novel in the series. This writer has a bright future and I look forward to see how his writing evolves over time. I hope that part of that evolution will be more in-depth character building for the secondary characters. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes to read about an all to possible future that involves a devolution of humanity. This all too possible future made it impossible for me to put down the book and I found myself comparing today's financial crisis to what was happening in Unholy Domain.
    • 4/5
      I enjoyed this book. ( I liked it more than the previous book "PeaceMaker".) The characters and writing style are good. There were characters to both love and hate in the book. Some of the tech was above my head, but still enjoyable. I'm still not reading the commentary at the beginning of each chapter. Some unexpected twist and turns to keep you interested. Another cliffhanger ending to ensure I want to read the next book. Overall a completely enjoyable read.
    • 4/5
      Set a few years in the future Dan Ronco's "tech thriller", Unholy Domain, is a real page turner with characters you find yourself liking and caring about. The plot itself is fast paced, exciting, and extremely plausible. The only reason that I am giving the book 4 stars instead of 5 is the ending. It left me wanting more. Look forward to reading more by Mr. Ronco.I say pick this one up, you won't be disappointed!
    • 5/5
      "Thank You!" to Dan Ronco for Unholy Domain!! The book had me turning pages until late into the night! Unholy Domain is a great high-tech, sci-fi, techno-thriller! What I liked so much about this novel is the plausibility of the story and likable characters! I recommend this book!!Unholy Domain is a real page-turner. A great read!!!
    • 4/5
      Enjoyed this book. Was an interesting visit into technical, political and religious chaos. The hero is a young man on a mission to determine if rumors about his dad's innocence of being the author and perpetrator of the virus that destroyed the internet in 2010 and let to a political ban on technology and the forming of a religion (The religion of natural man) who felt that technology was evil. The real creators of the virus (a Shadow organization of Technos called the Dominion) thought all connections between them and the virus were destroyed but, when David Brown started nosing around, they feared he might turn up some skeletons that led back to them. The Technos formed an alliance with the Mob and were using them to distribute life like Androids. As David contacted his fathers friends and peers searching for something to clear his father, the three organizations used him as a Judas Sheep to find and eliminate these contacts. The Dominion was trying to protect their secret, the Mob was looking for a means of identifying the Dominion management and the Church of Natural was trying to find the Dominion to eliminate that Evil from earth. The fall of the internet led to a major world depression in 2020. David started his search in 2022. David is an naive young man without the wiles to survive in the hazardous environment he was unleashing. The continuous jeopardy that David was living through kept the book a real page turner. Enjoyed meeting the characters and look forward to a final resolution to the story in what I imagine will be a follow on book. This book is based on his 1st novel the PeaceMakers which I'll be looking forward to reading as well as his follow on book. Thanks for a good read. Recommend for those liking action and close in science fiction.

      When an author uses the words “bitch” and “whore” as synonyms for “woman” it makes you question the merit of the rest of the book you’re reading. While Unholy Domain lacked any female dogs or prostitutes (as far as I could tell), Ronco seemed to use these words more often than more respectable terms for women. However, no such similar terms were used in place of “man.” No “dicks,” or “bastards,” or any other term that can be used to belittle a man.It was this sort of misogyny that made me pay a more critical eye to the rest of the story.Of course, why didn’t I expect this book to have misogynistic undertones (overtones?); after all, the blurber was none other than Piers Anthony, whose formulaic literary punishments (no pun intended) portray a misogynistic medieval society where every shallow-minded heroine’s dream is to find the right man to marry, before she gets too old!Ugh.The story of Unholy Domain is this: A milquetoast government tries in vain to regulate technology after a catastrophic attack by an artificial intelligence. A new religion springs up that combines a healthy dose of fundamentalism with neo-Luddism and a dash of the NRA. A massive technological corporation is making androids available to every home. All the while, a young man is trying to look into the mystery of his father’s death, and to clear his father’s name, as he’s the man pinned with creating and deploying the aforementioned killer AI.So, it seems like it could make a good story, no? Action, adventure, mystery, intrigue!All lost at the hands of Ronco. Every character talks and thinks with the same voice. This gets dull, and it gets dull soon. Not only does it make it dull, but the constant thoughts injected between paragraphs, providing commentary to the reader, are unnecessary. The author’s page describes his writing as “cinematic.” Imagine watching a film in which the thoughts of the central character of each scene are vocalized. This might work in humor, but in more “serious” prose, it would just be annoying, especially if everybody used the same speech patterns in their thoughts.I did have good hopes for this book, being that the previous book I read published by this company was actually somewhat good (a book called Janeology). But, I suppose they can’t all be winners. This book especially.If you are looking for a techno thriller to read, by all means, get something by Michael Crichton instead. If you look to Ronco for anything other than a story falling short of its potential, you will be disappointed.
    • 4/5
      I generally dislike terms like "techno-novel" or such; but this aptly fits Unholy Domain. Its a "techno-novel" set in the year 2020. Its realistic enough to be plausible; its gripping enough to be readable; its a good novel. The novel approaches and contains its story well; it sets itself out to be a gripping, chilling, possible vision - and it succeeds. Good pacing, good story, good plot, realistic, plausible, readable. I would definitely recommend it to a fan of science fiction; futuristic; or thrilling novels.
    • 5/5
      A fast paced techno thriller about humans versus Technos. In the future could humans and computers evolve to become one? The premise is intriguing and the author brings up some interesting scenarios that could happen in a society proposed in Unholy Domain. This futuristic story is well written and well researched.
    • 4/5
      This book by Dan Ronco is obviously only the first of a series of at least one other book because the story stops in mid stride. The book is compelling, interesting and has a vision of the future that is engaging.The characters are understandable and real. The story is gripping. I would read another book by this author, bring it on!J. Robert Ewbank author "John Wesley, Natural Man, and the 'Isms'".
    • 3/5
      This fast- paced thriller by Dan Ronco had me turning pages until late into the night! The recent genre of techno -thriller is not usually what I would reach for for recreational reading, but I was intrigued quickly. What had me from the first page, was the futuristic realism of a Great Depression, was not only scary, but also plausible! There3 was more than enough to keep me turning pages, long after when I should have been asleep for the night! A solid 3 stars! and leaning to 4! Bravo! I throughly enjoyed this book.! I have to say that I received this book for review through LibraryThing Early reviewer program, but I am not obligated to give a favorable review.
    • 1/5
      Sometimes curious concepts and interesting characters smash against the wall of a terrible plot point and lose their connection with the reader. This is much the case with Dan Ronco’s novel, a thriller that pits fundamentalist religion against technology in a near-future Earth.I actually enjoyed the first seventy or so pages of this novel. While the concepts being introduced would have benefited from stronger world building and more thorough examinations of the characters, the story at least kept moving forward and was interesting. But characterization is precisely what dies in this piece. The relationships feel hackneyed at best, particularly for the main character, who magically falls in love with a woman he’s only met once. That’s not to say that such things don’t happen, but the way it was approached in Unholy Domain made the characters seem flat. The “love” came out of nowhere and seemed exceptionally trite.There were other issues too, though less glaring ones that the sudden, depth-less romance (they’re both magically in love, having exchanged little more than five sentences between one another). Some of the religious elements were over-the-top, to the point of being ridiculous. I managed to move past these, but they were relatively relentless, and this made for a story that lacked depth, power, and cohesiveness.These are all my personal opinions, though. If the book sounds like something you might like, then buy it and give it a read. For me, though, it was the kind of book that literally made me roll my eyes while reading it. That’s too much for me.
    • 5/5
      I more or less stopped reading science fiction after my children were born because I figured a responsible adult like me should spend my time with more "serious" stuff. Unholy Domain makes me wonder if I've missed out on a couple of decades of good writing.With breakneck pacing, vivid characters, and some wildly scary scenarios, Ronco has created a memorable story about conflict between good and evil, technology and religion, and one very good guy against hordes of baddies of several stripes. He's also drawn a picture of a disheartening but remarkably believable world in the midst of a global depression that the U.S. government is powerless to stop. In fact, the big shots in Washington DC are generally incapable of doing anything useful--but I already said this was believable, didn't I?The bad guys--at least some of them--are actually girls, which is refreshing especially when you learn that they're really, really smart girls who use technology as capably as Pussy Galore used her wiles to (almost) conquer 007. The book offers plenty of non-techno sex, murder, revenge, and mayhem, too, so we Luddites can enjoy it as well.Unholy Domain is great fun even if you don't have a clue as to how the software does what it's supposed to do.
