This was a big heap of fun with a pleasing amount of puns throughout. Amazing bad guy (can't think who he was based on...) and a great main cast of amusing and really engaging characters.
Also a very neat take on the genetically engineered Martian concept which I mainly associate with the brilliant Man Plus by Frederik Pohl.
Hints of a third book in the final act - BRING IT ON.

Didn’t enjoy this one as much as Dogs of War.
But I have to say, it was a mish mash of everything you would never expect in SF. I said something similar about Dogs of War, but the style and approach are so original and fresh.
Cyborg bears on Mars, but with non-disclosure agreements and quasi-fascism.
I just found that there wasn’t a lot of imagination when it came to the surroundings on Mars, just the description of Hell city in the first chapter.
Easily his best comedy, but felt distressingly realistic.
