I don't know what the hell is going on, but I love the atmosphere.

I love Nihei's work SO MUCH - this is so gritty and dark.

Re-read. I'm not sure what happened but I broke my stride somewhere along the line. Do I recommend reading this series fast? Yes and no. Halfway through this volume I regretted my decision. I wanted to read anything else from my stacks. An intermission was beckoning. I picked this up begrudgingly. I wanted to stick with the sense of oppressive doom though. It just makes sense. I'm trapped here. My last review of this and the previous volumes were lower but I rate the overall experience higher now. The notes from three years back that I'm overwriting here said I was confused and this might definitely be the toughest volume to follow yet. No time for questions now. I'm almost out of here.

Plot thickens as they say. Silicon Life's goal is now clear - they are trying to connect to the Netsphere and they can try to do it in this specific part of the City where specific Net Terminal Gene is not required. Here Kyrii and Cibo find refuge with provisional Safeguards, Dhomochevsky and Iko who are trying to keep this location safe from intrusion and especially Silicon Life.

Art as always, Lovecraftian to the L. I have to admit that I am not sure how this will end, considering this is penultimate master edition I dont know how this story-line can be finished. Truly wandering how this one will end.

Recommended to fans of Event Horizon like stuff (and SF of course :))
