prtrotter's review against another edition
5.0
As a fan of both sci-fi and mystery, I was both excited and suspect of how this would work. To my surprise, this mix of William Gibson and Raymond Chandler worked quite well.
As a novella, it did offer some depth, as well as a punchy thread of a story. I found the characters both believable and entertaining without the overbearing nature of a Dickens persona. The story was quite interesting, and this particular setting could yield a lifetime of short stories, or several full-length novels. I would love to see this universe developed more.
In fact, that was my only real complaint, is that it was over before I wanted it to be.
Great story, cool characters, and a nice, if unintentional thumb of the nose to the overbearing Ayn Rand crowd made this a real e-page turner.
I'll be looking for the next volume, hopefully sooner, rather than later.
Keep up the good work!
