Seven years of searching?,
By GeoX "GeoX" (Men...Of...The...Sea!) - See all my reviews
This review is from: COMPANY MAN (Mass Market Paperback)
Jeez...I went to an out-of-print bookstore (after reading Ferman's Devils/Boddekker's Demons) and found it in five minutes. While it was probably worth that much time invested, I don't know about seven years. The Company Man is a fairly enjoyable novel, but hardly a masterwork. A bit too much of the "aha, you may have THOUGHT X character was dead, but..." type plot twists for me. Also, I have to admit, I never really warmed to Birch as a character--I mean, I suppose he sort of redeems himself, but...well. The ending was a bit depressing too--I mean, sure he gets the girl and escapes and everything, but the world is still a horrible corporate nightmare; nothing's even slightly different. Also...why would Astradyne just let an ex-agent who rebelled against them go on his merry way? Isn't it inevitable that he's going to be the target of numerous assassination attempts, until one of them finally succeeds? A bit implausible all around; nonetheless a halfway decent read.

This review is from: COMPANY MAN (Mass Market Paperback)
I read the Angel's Luck Trilogy while in college and immediately went on a search for this book. It took seven years of searching, but as soon as I found it, I bought it, read it and loved it. This is the best JCF book I've read to date. Cool action, slick suspense and engaging characters make this book a must!

In 30 years, still the best book,
By
This review is from: COMPANY MAN (Mass Market Paperback)
I read Company Man in my early twenties and have been a major fan of Joe Faust ever since, despite not having been able to find any other novels by him. This was absolutely, in 30 years and hundreds of SF authors of reading, the best book I've ever read of overall SF. One of those sleeper novels that should be a cult classic. Have searched for more by him for years and hope one day he does more.
