An adrenaline fueled cyberpunk “Rambo” action thriller. Little character development or really anything except action. Fun macho wish-fulfillment.

Decent, focused on combat action

Runs from start to finish
Some of the clearest and sharpest matrix action descriptions in the entire stable of Shadowrun novels. Moments during physical action sequences that the author does not have to give us to make it work but does to make it even tastier. Sensory heavy action. Purposeful destruction and gore. An introspective protagonist. Insight into the perspectives of all the key players creating clarity then twisting it away and bringing it back again. Thank you to the author.

A decent popcorn read with a standard, stoic, angst-ridden hero. The bad guys are reasonably dastardly, the action fast & furious. The hero was near-invulnerable though which drained most of the tension from the story.

Cliche characters with nonsense motivations. A boring, Mary Sue protagonist constantly protected by plot armor who does nothing to earn the respect everyone seems all to eager heap on him. A completely unsatisfying ending.
