review 1: ok- I bought Final Evolution not realizing it was 5th in series so I kindled the other 4 and read back to back so some of the story is blurry - I can't remember which book parts came from. In the beginning it reminded me a bit of early Richard K Morgan (Altered Carbon) which is a compliment. Avery Cates is a hitman - with a bit of a soft heart ( of course) - people are being turned into avatars - he almost becomes one but it backfires and he has a few brains/persons/systems added to his head. He discovers that he's been the dupe of one Canny Orel - a legendary hitman and his goal in the books is to kill Canny. Oh, and humanity is probably done for. Over all I would give this a 3/4 rating.
review 2: I can respect where Jeff Somers is coming from with this inst... moreallment if the Avery Cates saga. I don't know if it is the best (probably not, the best is still The Electric Church), but it is a respectable addition to what has become a very entertaining series of events. Avery Cates is still the man. I still really like who he is and how he refuses to die or really change. He did get a little weepy about Remi and what happened and his guilt? definitely began to wear on me in regard to his little bouts of sadness and what if's, but I still liked how he didn't give an eff about anyone, and was willing to kill just about anyone to get his revenge. I do have to say that I was happy with the ending and that everything, sort of, turned out okay. Yeah, Cates survives (for a minute I didn't think he was going to make it), yeah the world is still a pisshole, but there a certain satisfaction about the ending that just grooved right with my reading of the novel. I really do hope that there is another one, just so I see what crazy shit Avery gets into next. less
