Mona is his first novel, and will be followed by its sequel, Sinon. Rachel Willson-Broyles is a freelance translator specialising in literature. She lives in Madison, Wisconsin.<p>'<i>Mona</i> is a very imaginative crime novel, balancing on the edge of a form of science fiction, but is it incredibly suspenseful all the way through — and is strongly recommended.'</p>

<p>'Dan T. Sehlberg is a fabulously skilled writer who delivers one of the best surprises in the suspense genre this year ... In addition to being a very gifted suspense author with great knowledge within both new information technology and politics, Dan T. Sehlberg also skillfully gives room for a fair amount of high culture ... The book contains lots of suspense, well-portrayed characters and local color. The greatest merit is however that the imaginative ideas of Mind Surf and a computer virus that can attack humans is so well presented that the reader must gradually drop any reservations against it. Film rights are purchased by New Regency, but the book is so good that it would be foolish to wait for the movie.'</p>
