Customer Reviews

Pulp Science fiction at its best

This is cyber-punk before there was such a thing. The future that McQuay paints..."where ghettos are war zones, the rich hide behind six inches of armor plate, and the cops work for the highest bidder"...is compelling and his use of language is superb. These Mathew Swain books are dedicated to Raymond Chandler and its a very apt choice; Mike McQuay has created the perfect futuristic private eye, a wise-cracking cynic cut from the same cloth as Sam Spade and The Continental Op.
