The first book in The Cyberpunk Uploads series.
Having just been put through the ultimate in tedious and pointless interruptions to story flow and action scenes when i read The Heartstrikers series, to sit and read this book was an absolute pleasure. Yes folks, if you really like a high paced, non-stop, story line then this just might be what you’re looking for.
On top of the fast flowing story it’s also a rather good story. We essentially have a battle royale going between three groups: androids who hate humans and want to eradicate and/or enslave them, humans who want to do the same to androids, and then there’s the odd-ball androids and humans out in left field who think we can all live peacefully and happily together ever after. Centre it all in the London of the future, known as Lundun, and shove our main protagonist, The Postman, right in the middle of all this is.
The most astute reader will get to realise by the end of the book that there really isn’t anyone The Postman can trust, android or human, everyone seems to have agendas and secrets and i’m really looking forward to learning more in the next book, Messiah Online, which i dove straight into without any hesitation.
We have a young woman who can read minds who works as a live in maid so that she doesn’t have to stay in any single place very long so that no one will guess her secret.
Season 2 has finally appeared and the most important thing is that all the cast seemed to have survived intact from covid — which is obviously the best thing ever.
Considering this was the shortest book of the series, it seemed to drag on much more than the previous books.
Moving along from the first four books, Rachel throws in ever more magical beasties, deeper plots and characters.
The first non-Dune book of Frank’s that i ever read. And what did i think?
DeAnna sent me an ARC to have a read and comment on, with the caveat that she still had some polishing to do. So yes, there were a few things that still needed some work with the copy i received, but all in all, it was a very enjoyable read. And then, having sent my notes to Deanna, she then sent me an updated version back with my little moans all sorted out.
Yeah . . .
The continuation trilogy to be read after Book of the Ancestor series.
More of the same, except we finally end up out on the ice for real and there are times when it just gets a bit tedious. But, thinking about it, i can only imagine that living on the ice caps and seeing nothing but ice, snow and the occasional polar bear wanting to eat you and yours every day of your life would be extremely tedious.
