Necrotech by K. C. Alexander
4.0
Cross-posting my Amazon review here:
Gory, foul-mouthed cyberpunk given a 21st century face lift. Riko is a SINless runner out for blood and answers. She ends up with more blood than answers, but that's what sequels are for! I really enjoyed this book, and really the only thing keeping it from being 5 stars are some slight issues with pacing. I thought some of the bits in the beginning, especially at the police station and Riko's meetings with Detective Greg got a lot of page time and then were dropped until a small aside at the end of the book. The world of Necrotech, with its tech-augmented mercenaries, neon and corruption is one I want to come back to. K C Alexander's got a winner on her hands. If you've ever played Shadowrun, think that, strip out the elves n' stuff, and crank up the ultra-violence. You're in for a thrill ride.
