From Publishers Weekly

Williams's novel Hardwired was a well-written but standard entry in the cyberpunk sweepstakes launched by William Gibson's Neuromancer. This followup, however, is much more interesting and successful. Etienne Steward is the clone ("Steward Beta") of a hero of the Artifact Wars, in which multinational corporations fielded armies to plunder alien ruins. He's been given Steward Alpha's memories minus the last years of the hero's life: the war and its aftermath. Now Steward Beta begins an investigation, tracking down Alpha's wife, friends, enemies and fellow vets to fill in the picture and learn why Alpha was murdered. In particular, Beta probes the war, its horrors, its betrayals and The Powers, the aliens who ended it. Resonances of Vietnam-era moral concerns make this deft updating of the postWorld War II genre of psychological thrillers about amnesiacs one of the best of its kind.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Erase the infamy, Nov. 12 2000
Par C. Bickford (Round Lake Beach, IL USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Voice Of Whirlwind (Paperback)
Our story starts simply enough. A clone is revived, and is found to be missing some memory. Darwin days, a time of hyper-evolution, where the weak die, from plate glass windows dropped from skyscraper and worse, forms the backdrop of the urban chaos that is the heart of any good cyberpunk novel.

What do you get when you take a young gang member out of France, put him in rigorous training of both the body and the mind in Zen without the morality, and then drop him in the middle of a war that goes bad?

You get the Whirlwind. And the voice of the Whirlwind calls to our hero across death, across 15 years of lost memory, across cultures.

Because those who sow the Wind will reap the Whirlwind, our hero is caught up in the events of a past life (his), that tears apart the current life he is trying to build.

As the reader and our hero uncover the mystery of his past life, the story builds to an inevitable conclusion.

We learn philosophy, and the trap of only getting selected pieces of philosophy. We learn what one must do to survive.

And we enjoy the book immensely.

4.0étoiles sur 5 CLASSIC Cyberpunk, Janv. 30 1999
Par Un client
This review is from: Voice Of Whirlwind (Paperback)
Bought this book for the cover and was pleasantly suprised by the contents. Very well written, with all the paranoia and action cyberpunk fans expect.I wish he would write more like this one.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Excellent Buddhist work, Oct. 5 1998
This review is from: Voice Of Whirlwind (Paperback)
WJW is one of my favorite writers and "Voice.." is one of his best books IMHO, on par with "Hardwired" if not quite as good as "Aristoi". This book is a masterful work of Buddhist literature, made even more delightful by being written in the SF genre.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Read this book twice.
Voice of the Whirlwind is a complex piece of work, and I'm not ashamed to say I didn't "get it" the first time through. Read more

5.0étoiles sur 5 An advance mixture of far ranging SF and Cyberpunk
When I read this book, I could find nothing that related it to Hardwired in any way. That said, this is still a fantastic novel. Read more

5.0étoiles sur 5 Excellent. Terrific plot and good characterization.
This book is excellent. It easily makes my list of top ten sci-fi. The plot, while complex, comes together without using gratuitious coincidences. Read more

5.0étoiles sur 5 Not a sequel to "Hardwired", a brand new excellent book
This book is in what appears to be the same universe as "Hardwired" but at a later time. There are no common characters. Read more
