Reviews

[Robin Brown Clune · Rating 3 out of 5]

This short story is a good introduction to the world of M.L. Adams. However, I bought it after reading Cyberdawn, hoping for more, and finding out there was little to learn here.

Much of the story is extremely similar to Cyberdawn, the timeline being contained within the full novel's time.

If you have a choice, read this before Cyberdawn.

I eagerly await the next full-length novel about either of the protagonists we have met so far.

Very exciting book! After finishing it, I had to look for another and found Alpha 8: A Cyber Dawn Short Story that I am about to read now. I truly recommend this book if you like cyborgs etc.
