Count Zero by William Gibson

3.0

---

"They set a slamhound on Turner's trail in New Delhi, slotted it to his pheromones and the color of his hair." So goes the first sentence in Count Zero. The lives of a gun-for-hire, an art gallery owner and a computer hacker converge as one of the world's richest men involves them in his desire for a form of immortality. Gibson's incredible imagination and great attention to detail fights with wildly divergent plot strands, and it's not until near the end that things start to really come together. Recommended for fans of Gibson's Neuromancer, but probably not the first book to reach for if you're not familiar with his work. 3.5.
