review 1: I am not sure about this book yet.... I am a hardcore Shadowrun fan from 20 years ago. This spin on the Shadowrun world is different. Instead of a world of Tech vs. Magic, it's more about Humans vs. Genetic Creations ( Dwarves, Elves, etc...) Don't get me wrong, it's good so far, just not what I remember. It does make me want to dig out my old paperbacks and reread them! To finish, I stick with my current rating. For the old school Shadowrun folks, this book is alright. For newer readers it will be pretty good.
review 2: Interesting characters, solid sci-fi, fun to read, but it falls short because it feels and sounds like an 80's action movie. The quips have GOT to go. One-liners belong to Arnold Schwarzenegger, not solid, good fiction. Also the author must... more have watched Starship Troopers too much, the "funny" news scenes were just dated and unnecessary. Otherwise shows tons of potential, if the author matures. The novel Dead Dwarves, Dirty Deeds reads like the later work of a more seasoned author, but was published a bit before this... don't know the history behind it but hopefully that is the later work and the author has progressed beyond one-liners and "wacky" humor. less
