An interesting read that's a good scifi buddy cop story both on its own and as a complement to the movie. A lot of the story and script is very similar, though it's clear that the movie tightened the story up some (particularly by shortening the chases, fights, and some of the detective work), which was probably a good choice. Francisco in the book is also a bit stiffer and less eager to please than movie!Francisco. Still, though, I like the extra bits of characterization and background that's in this book, and it's always interesting to catch bits that obviously got cut at the last minute from the movie (for instance, one scene in the movie makes more sense if it was meant to be in an ultraviolet-lit bar where the Newcomers could see but the humans couldn't.)
