One of the better "RoboCop" rip-offs. In the 21st century, the book was printed in 1989, so, a virus, along with nuclear war has made America, in parts, a no mans land run by criminal gangs and street thugs. That's where Donovan Steele comes in. A member of the dangerous Strike Force team. His job is to fight a loosing battle with them in the city.

When the leader of The Skulls wants to have a parley with the Strike Force to finger the criminal leader of the city, he is shot and blown up. He is put back together and made into a Cyborg. He becomes the perfect crime fighter. Even if he would rather of died. Pretty good read.

Very good SiFi adventure series. Interesting main character. Good plot and a quick read. Recommended

Fun pulp series we discovered in the books left by my husband's father when he passed.
Will be making my way through all 7 books we've dug out. Think Robocop with more humanity.

Is the soul of man
hidden in cybernetics?
Oh, sweet! Cool ass guns!

I read Steele the first in Aug. of 89... Laugh if you will but it took me six months at the time, because I was what you would call Functional Illiterate... mainly when growing my teacher's either didn't know I had dyslexia, even I didn't know, add ADHD to the mix and you got a kid who got passed grade to grade (Not mention my size help me get passed) Anyway just background as to why I say is the book I ever read. To me Donovan Steele makes Robocop look like the Tinman from the Wizard of Oz. It'll be the book I pick up most often to read I love the story, the characters... it just a draw in as how the book written for me. Oh and it also started me down the path of being a Author myself!
