Dresden Files meets Deus Ex (minus the magic)
Firewall Down is a fun easy to read romp through a cyberpunk future reminiscent of Deus Ex, where human augmentation is a burgeoning science. The book has a similar feel to The Dresden Files, and like Dresden, detective Lake gets sucked into the fray more often than he does actual detecting, not that I'm complaining. Detective Lake finds himself thrust into a world he doesn't understand, and while it might be nice if he had more history to uncover, this does make him an effective vehicle for the reader to discover that world as he does. A very solid inaugural effort for the author, I look forward to seeing what's next for Luthor Lake.

Very imaginative and creative. I can’t wait to read more about Luther Lake, Bridge. Azzi and Laylie.
A quick and fun read for anyone that enjoys thinking about what the future may hold.
Where do I get some of those augments?

Amazing storytelling!
A fast pace story that I never wanted to put down. When you thought the story was going in one direction, the story took a delightful swing, and made it better.

a really fast paced futuristic detective story with subtle humor. the plot is interesting, the twists are unexpected and the world building is promising.
the editing could be better and sometimes it was to fast paced for my taste. i, personally, like more explanations in this genre. primarily because of all the tech, ar and vr.
hopefully it's the start to a good and entertaining series. this book could be the one who paves the way for more of it's kind. especially with the ending and the character personalities.
