90's anti-drug, sci-fi action. Navy SEAL gets teamed up with a Cyborg. The first half of this book spends too much time dealing with various alphabet organizations. CIA, FBI, NCS......blah blah blah. But once the action starts, well it's pretty G.O.O.D. I look forward to book 2. Hope they can pick up where they left off.

This was actually a lot of fun. It’s strange to think of books from this sort of era being dated; you expect it from publications from the 60’s and 70’s, but to see such anachronism in a work of relative modernity is telling. The story wasn’t anything out of the ordinary, but I got into it well and will enjoy reading more in the future.

This was a fun read - a shoot up the bad guys with drug king pins the bad guys. Story is good and there are a couple of twists in it to keep it interesting. Part of a series and I'll read the next book eventually.

Not enough robot, too much of the cop. A few cheesy, over the top parts but on the whole nothing special.
