Colossus by D.F. Jones
4.0
By todays standards the pre-internet Colossus must seem a more toothless beast, oddly limited in his powers. Technological the novel is helplessly dated, given that it is supposed to play just before or around the early 21st century by all accounts (Tunguska is referred to as has happend a bit over ninety years ago).
But Jones' narrative holds up remarkably well; often driven solely by long dialogue passages it reads at times more like a pitch for a movie script than a novel, yet it captures the reader from the start and keeps up pace.
