A review by hteph
Necrotech by K. C. Alexander
4.0
I think cyberpunk must be a difficult genre to write, it has such a narriw subset of SF tropes to draw on and setting in itself is so formulaic it too easy to fall into either parody or repetitive.
K.C. Alexander manage to balance that vibro edge. The whole time I read the book it feels like something I almost read before, from the vulgar language of the protagonist, by the galley of "supporting" characters, to the main plot. But it is an enjoyable journey, with enough twusts and turns to keep the interest and even if no one is actually likeable, at least some personas are interesting and not making overly predictable choises.
So, it do not in any way revolutionary the genre (not possible I guees) but faithfully delivers my fix and makes me really want the next book!
