Grudge Punk by John McNee

4.0

The central idea behind these stories all connected by the same city is brilliant. That all of the citizens' bodies are "enhanced" by technology is great, but it also has the added twist that some enhancements are better than others, some have degraded to the point of disrepair and some belong in a junkyard. This grimy take on it really lends itself to the author's noir style of storytelling. Underhanded politics and tensions between rival criminal gangs, dames in distress and past-their-prime hitmen, it all adds up to a very entertaining read. Wonderfully original and wildly entertaining.
