review 1: As a big fan of 80s and 90s cyberpunk, I was thrilled to see a new author in the genre. The book has all the weird lingo used to over-describe things you don't understand and even some neon lights, but it's just too fast of a read. Koko is essentially a bro in a woman's skin. She's a bit too macho for my taste and I suspect the author plans on developing her in future books. I actually liked the assassin Mu more than Koko and I only got a couple pages about her. She felt much more believable and fully-formed in a couple paragraphs than Rambo-Koko did in the entire story.
review 2: Koko Takes a Holiday by Kieran Shea is different. It takes place on an earth of the future where large conglomerates control the planet. There is war with the recivs, the humans left ... moreon earth. Many are genetically engineered. Koko is one. She was a hired mercenary fighting wars all over the planet. During some of her battles she worked side by side with Portia Delacompte. It got so that Koko considered her a friend, but thee were still trust issues. Portia had plans to parlay her career into management for the corporations. She rose to vice president. She had memory blocks done. She offered Koko a civilian job being bartender/manager of a who're house. Then Portia sets her up for a down fall ordering a hit on her by sending in an enforcement detail. Koko is upset that Delacompte wants her dead. The only thing she can think of is the incident in Finland. Koko escapes and flees to one of the floating cities which are sanctuaries. Delacompte sends bounty hunters after Koko with a no rescind order. On the floating city she runs into the first bounty hunter. She knocks her unconscious with a broken leg and lets her live. She meets Flynn. He was diagnosed with depressus of which there is no cure. Together they make a stand. Read on to Discover Delacompte's secret and if Koko will survive. less
