review 1: It had a lot of promise. The concept is very cool, as is the world that was created around it, but the plot was incredibly predictable, the characters are one-dimensional, and the relationships between the characters are incredibly forced. The writing itself was pretty smooth and, again, the idea was cool enough that I look forward to another novel from Michael Dempsey. However, I would not recommend this book as it needs some maturing.
review 2: Cool mash up of cyberpunk and Chandleresque noir with a dash of urban fantasy. A virus hits NYC and the dead come back, not as reanimated corpses, but flesh-and-blood people who age backwards. The city is controlled by a powerful corporation, which may hold the key to stopping the virus. After a cop and his wife are k... moreilled during a robbery, he comes back but she doesn't. Thrown into a world of flying Studebakers, neo-20s fashion, gangsters with plasma Tommyguns, and holographic AI assistants, he must investigate his own death and uncover the secrets behind the corporation. Necropolis is a fast paced action adventure that strikes all the right chords. less
