4.0 out of 5 stars
A superb debut. Cyberpunk heaven,
By
This review is from: Mnemosyne's Kiss (Paperback)
This appears to be this author's one and only book. Don't let the comment on the cover put you off 'cut his teeth writing the blurb for manga videos'. This is classic cyberpunk - nanobots, AI, designer drugs, shady corporations. The plot throttles along from Africa to South America to orbitting space stations. More accesible than 'Gibson' but no less thought provoking. It's a pity he came out on 'Virgin Worlds' discontinued sci-fi series. Where is this author now? Surely after such a superb debut he can't have disappeared.Buy this book while you can.

Superb Science fiction with dark undertones,
By Rob Godin "Robo the Clown" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mnemosyne's Kiss (Paperback)
this is an amazing piece of science fiction, boasting a believeable look into the future of earth, space, drugs, medical care and even building tecniques! His stle of writing is very clever, focusing on building up one caracter at a time, leaving you in absolute suspence while he looks at the next caracter. (he continues this style in his other book, an unquiet grave, published by 2000ad)if you are smart enough to know who Mnemosyne was, this is the perfect sci-fi for you. If you dont know who he was, but love Neil Gaimon or Tim Burton, this is still a good read for you 0 of 1 people found the following review helpful

Cyber-schlock - with a few good ideas,
By Shannon K. Roy "kalen222" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mnemosyne's Kiss (Paperback)
A largely predictable "chase" spec-fic book - with a sprinkling of original-ish ideas to keep it going in the long, dry middle.First, the bad. If you're up on your Greek mythology, you'll know the entire plot by page 7. In "Matrix-like" or "Stephen-King-esque" style, the main characters have terribly telegraphic names. The protagonist is named "Cassandra," for example, so it's not too much of a surprise when we discover she's forever making predictions that no-one believes... unfortunately they're all that obvious. There are, however, some neat sci-fi ideas contained here, and since several of them are quite a lot of fun, interest is somewhat maintained. A decent enough novel for a quick summer read. |
