The Ragpicker av Joel Dane
I’m afraid I couldn’t get into this book finding the narrative of the two main characters, taking chapter about, not different enough for easy distinction. I appreciate the author was creating a unique world but I got confused about who the conversations were with for each of the main characters. I couldn’t get a totally clear picture of the world. Maybe at a different time of reading this book may have changed how I understood it.
Dane, Joel. Burn Cycle. Cry Pilot No. 2. Ace, 2020.
Joel Dane is the nom de plume of an Army brat who grew up to be a bicoastal screenwriter and novelist. I also suspect he grew up playing first-person shooter videogames. Burn Cycle is a close sequel to Cry Pilot, and like its predecessor, it is straight-ahead military science fiction. A future earth city has been taken over by a nonhuman intelligence that seems intent on wiping out anyone it contacts. The action here involves small-unit, high-tech ground assault. The grunts don’t always trust their leaders, and they constantly worry that their tech has been hijacked. The character conflict is good enough that it inspired a positive review from C. J. Cherryh. One missed opportunity—we are told there are very advanced Ais, but Dane keeps them at a distance and never lets one become a character in its own right.… (mer)
