same vain as Hard Luck Hank but without the comedy

more or less the setting and background of the Hard Luck Hank series but more gritty and edgy in a good way

Great narration!

Fairly decent story, but the narration is where this books shines. Markson does an amazing job of drawing you into the characters and world. definitely recommend.

Cyberpunk baby!

Great book! I enjoyed the story and the performance very much. Felt like our old R.Talsorian Cyberpunk games. Anticipation of Cyberpunk 2077 currently red-llining! ;)

a different breed of cyberpunk

This story flew by , with the pacing of a Raymond Chandler story, and the violence of an episode of Heavy Metal . The reader was quick and clear and had a fair range of voices in his repertoire. The characters were nicely multi dimensional , surprisingly so in many cases. The villains were fun and the allies surprisingly varied, give this one a shot you'll be pleased.

An unexpected find

When I bought this book it didn't have a lot of reviews so even though it had a good rating I didn't fully trust it. The only reason I bought it was because it was recommended from a different author who I like. So I came into this book with kind of low expectations. So when I found myself really enjoying this book it was a pleasant surprise.

This is a fun story and it breaks the mold for the traditional Sci-Fi military book. I definitely recommend it.

Very good stuff

I thoroughly enjoyed this one. A good balance of character development and action. I am hunting for the next book in the series.

Straightforward futuristic fun

Let me start by talking about Jay Ben Markson's performance. If you're like me and you listened to the preview snippet, you may have found his narration to be rocky and crackly to the point where it sounded like it was going to fall apart. This almost kept me from ordering this book. But Mr. Markson's performance turned out to be really quite good. He has good pace and emotion, and he does a good job with the characters.

While very enjoyable, the story itself is nothing revolutionary. It's a straightforward actionfest with a linear and fairly predictable path. But like I said, it's enjoyable. And while the character development may be a little on the light side, it's enough for me to care what happens to them and to be curious to move onto the next book to see where this goes.

If you're looking for a fun way to keep the mind occupied for 10 hours without taxing it too much, this is a good choice.

Don't bother

The premise could have been terrific...How do augmented humans deal with their capabilities, their lives as soldiers, their lives after the military..Especially as the medical world is working on augmentation for people who are paralyzed. It is going to happen.
I am not sure who wrote those great reviews,but, no. This is just a soldier boy meets girl, they save her dad. And, even though the woman is also augmented, she uses cute kittenish tricks to wow her man. Augh!
This is about highly augmented military cyborgs, and they fight...Boxing, martial arts, punching, wrestling...WHAT! I mean, really, this is how the augmented soldier fights? He has been on many worlds doing, uh, fighting. Is he punching everyone to death?
And, do we need to know she opined? " She said," is fine, really. Just an example of the abuse of the thesaurus.And, of course, too many adjectives for an "action" story.
I read lots of military Sci Fi, (yes, I am female, so what) and this is just, BAD.
But the reader was excellent, I felt sorry for him.
