    About this ebook

    The city of Heilavn is a future city built on the dried up sea floor of the North Sea in a time that has witnessed the reappearance of the glaciers on the Northern continents. A mixture of European and Scandinavian influences make Heilavn a rich city, but like every city Heilavn too has its dark sides, such as the lawless Lower City and the perhaps even more lawless Upper City.

    Ramon Vendiaz is a ruthless opportunist who will stoop to anything to get ahead in life. Nothing and no one will stand in his way and his position between Lower and Upper City is very lucrative.

    When a new power rises in the Upper City that threatens this position, Ramon Vendiaz searches for possibilities to gain the upper hand.

Vanaf 1991 is Mike aan het schrijven geweest aan verschillende korte verhalen en is hij begonnen aan zeven romans. Die allemaal niet af kwamen om uiteenlopende redenen. Daarnaast heeft hij in verschillende King Kong Award en Millennium Prijs Jury's gezeten en heeft hij samen met Roelof Goudriaan een jaar of tien aan Babel Publications gewerkt.In 1991 won hij de Rob Vooren prijs voor beste nieuwe auteur en in 1992 de King Kong Award voor beste korte verhaal, samen met Paul Harland. In 2012 won Mike zowel de jury- als de publieksprijs in de Baarnse Cultuurprijs en de Thor Verhalenwedstrijd van het SaBi Verhalenforum. Daarnaast won hij de Fantastels 2012 award.Na een schrijfhiaat van zo’n tien jaar schreef Mike eind 2011 zijn debuutroman, De Falende God, een breed opgezette dark fantasy roman, eerste deel van een pentalogie. Het tweede deel ‘In Schaduwen van Weleer’ verscheen in de loop van 2012 bij Verschijnsel.Meer recent schrijft hij ook veel in het Engels en publiceert op de Engelse markt voor bladen en verzamelbundels, mede omdat daar in Nederland niet genoeg ruimte voor is.Een bezigheid die hij ook weer heeft opgepakt is het hoofdredacteursschap voor uitgeverij Verschijnsel (de voortzetting van Babel Publications), waar zijn voornaamste aandachtsgebied de e-publicatie-markt is.Hij woont in Hilversum met zijn gezin en naast schrijven werkt hij ook nog wel eens voor een cutting edge technologiebedrijf en doet dat redelijk internationaal.
