No point or plot
The future is not so bright. Corporations rule the world and street hackers fight back.
This is an SF action romp with lots of intrigue, guns, and explosions, all wrapped together in a solid story. Very much in the Bladerunner genre, but with its own unique flavor.
The story is well written with strong characters who have depth along with mad skills. Oh, and more than a bit of snark. Do be warned that it is a bit of a page turner. Once you start, you will have a hard time putting it down and that feeling doesn’t end when the book does. You will then want to pick up the next one and keep going.
Highly recommended.
