Plastic Burlesque
About
Step into the captivating world of Utopia, a city where the oppressed fuel the privileged and rebellion is the only glimmer of hope. In this shimmering dystopia, two outlaws take center stage: Cy, a vengeful spirit seeking justice, and Solomon, a master strategist with nothing left to lose. Their mission? To dismantle the merciless Lipocopters that keep Utopia under control and break the mind control gripping the masses. But trust is scarce, and betrayal lurks around every corner.
Everything changes when Cy crosses paths with Aurelia Crimson, a rogue Liberator haunted by a fragmented past. She’s a woman he once loved, yet she has no recollection of him. Now, Cy faces an impossible decision: fight for freedom or risk it all for a lost love.
Meanwhile, Electra Steele, the iron-fisted Sovereign of Utopia, tightens her grip on power. However, cracks are beginning to form in her empire, born from secrets, lies, and hidden ambitions. As the battle intensifies, Cy uncovers Plastic Burlesque, an underground rebel force with enigmatic players who may hold the key to the revolution’s fate.
Time is running out. In this high-stakes game of power and deception, where the line between hero and villain blurs, freedom, survival, and love hang precariously in the balance. The fires of rebellion have been kindled, and now the question remains: who will rise from the ashes?

Praise for this book
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
In 2025, I stumbled upon a book that I decided to save on my shelf for later reading, Plastic Burlesque. However, once I finally started reading it, I found myself unable to put it down. The characters, especially Cy, were incredibly captivating, and I felt an immediate connection to their journey. One particular scene involving the Lipocopters was truly epic—I was so engrossed in the story that I nearly fell off my bed in surprise.
The action sequences throughout the book kept me hooked from beginning to end, leaving me eagerly anticipating what would happen next. And just when I thought the story couldn’t get any better, there was an amazing and well-guarded twist at the end that left me completely satisfied. I must commend Iwan Ross on his exceptional storytelling skills—I am truly his biggest fan. In fact, I’m about to embark on my second read of the book, and I’m so enamored with it that I’ve even ordered a print edition, solely for the sake of cherishing the beautiful cover.
