Winders
"Clever, kinetic, and personal, O'Nan's prose will keep your bedside lamp burning till the wee hours."

Pierce Brown, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“With fast-paced action and intricate plotting, WINDERS is a Tenet meets The Matrix thrill ride that I could not put down. O’Nan is a rare talent, transitioning seamlessly from script to prose with vibrant characters, addictive world-building, and a story that leaps off the page and onto the screen.”

Gretchen McNeil, author of Ten, #murdertrending, and Get Even

"Calling WINDERS an exceptional debut would be doing it a disservice. It’s more than that; it’s an excellent book, with crisp, vivid prose that jumps off the page.”

Michael Mammay, national bestselling author of Colonyside

“Ryan O’Nan matches the velocity of Suzanne Collins’s story telling and the spirit of Robert Cormier’s dark vision of America in this headlong tale of dystopian corruption. This super intense page turner won’t let go of you. You lock onto O’Nan’s characters rooting for them and identifying intensely with them as a nightmare takes shape around them. Reader beware. You’re going on a ride.”

Bryan Elsley, creator of Skins

“WINDERS is a fast, fun, and intricately-plotted story about fate, second chances, and the risks we have to take to have a life worth having.“

Simon R. Green, New York Times bestselling author

“WINDERS allows multi-talented actor/screenwriter Ryan O’Nan to flex his literary muscles...but he does so in a raw, surprisingly poppy way, unleashing a kind of 'X-Men-by-way-of-Dark-Academia' jam that takes full advantage of its medium.”

Tim Seeley, author of Hack/Slash and Nightwing, co-creator of Local Man

"Ryan O’Nan’s WINDERS throws you headlong into a world of conspiracy, intrigue, sci-fi, and power, rendered in crystalline detail. A stunning debut novel.”

David Hayter, screenwriter (X-Men, X2: X-Men United, Watchmen) 

“Complex and multi-layered while also a thrillingly enjoyable read. WINDERS is a world built with precision details and will keep you riveted.“

Patrick Aison, Emmy-nominated writer of Prey

“An exciting debut from O’Nan: fast-paced action and dangerous conspiracies that will leave you impatient for book two.”

Jim C. Hines, author of Libriomancer

“With plenty of action, super-powered hijinks, and intrigue, this fast-paced novel is memorable and unpredictable. I thoroughly enjoyed this surprising read.“
