KC Alexander “Necrotech” (Angry Robot, 2016)
Is it just me? This book seems to be getting some decent
buzz, with a pretty favorable response.
But I’m just not feeling it.
It’s a story about a badass female mercenary and her
frenemies. There’s tons of body
augmentation, conspiracies, and violence.
And to me, it just feels like a rehash of the cyberpunk
books I read decades ago. The characters
are no more likeable (and less intriguing at this stage of my life), and the
tech isn’t any more realistic.
Sometimes there’s a book that you bounce off and it’s clear
that it’s not the fault of you or the book.
It’s just not for you. For me,
this is one of those books.
