A review by rhganci
Market Forces by Richard K. Morgan

5.0

Once I realized that this book was going to be just as insightful without Takeshi, I really sank into it, enjoyed it, and got a lot more out of it than I did the other three by Morgan. It is a black, black, black book, full of chapter-enders and observations about 21st century lifestyles that are challenging, tough, and depressing all at the same time. Chris Faulkner was tragic as a protagonist, but another very memorable character who did just some unbelievable things. What makes Morgan one of my favorite authors right now is his ability to create situations and characters that conduct themselves according to a nature that they actually really seem to have, which is really an attribute of good literature. My fears that Morgan wouldn’t be Morgan without Takeshi abated, and I look forward to the next book from him in June with excitement.
