all of it is on the table, and the journey is absolutely heartbreaking. The title is extremely ironic.Ĭhimeras, off-world battle simulations, Japanese corporation worlds, Socialist republic takeovers, AIs, memory alteration, and the nature of good and evil. I can tell you that this whole novel was a slow descent through hell. Getting up there in years, with a good friend, doing the best he can. It sucked me right in with some amazing future Central America worldbuilding, a doctor getting roped in to help regrow this woman's hand in secrecy as she tempts him with some expensive hot tech, a cyberpunk mind cage for offloading from a body. I just happened to hear of this title randomly through a bunch of people who were talking about the best unknown SF novels they'd ever read.Īnd I was like. I daresay it might have just slipped my notice completely. I've read a number of Dave Wolverton's novels under his fantasy name of Dave Farland, the Runelord series, and I've also read one or two of Dave's Star Wars novels as well, but I had never even heard of his FIRST novel, a science fiction, that had nothing to do with any franchise. It's a book that ought to be read a lot more than it has.
