Passion di Orchi is no more than the obscenely rich daughter of a West Coast mafia boss - until she decides to rebuild Venice. In the middle of the Pacific. A century later, with New Venice ossified into a puritanical elegance, the daughter of Count Ryuchi slips away from her father's palazzo, out to the levels to play Lucifer's Dragon. A multi-level, self-perpetuating, true 3-D trawl through the Apocalypse, Lucifer's Dragon is coded so the game never repeats its own failures. But an altercation in a bar puts Karo on a collision course with NVPD officer Angeli, drafted in by media giant CySat to investigate a murder she knows way too much about. And then there's Razz, the silver exotic. Too tired and jaded to keep living, she takes on the job of guarding CySat's ultimate boss, the ten-year-old Aurelio.

This review is from: Lucifer's Dragon (Paperback)
Lucifer's Dragon stands on the corner smoking two cigarettes. It is a stylish and seedy thriller. Amidst a background ramshackle of generic Cyberpunk J.C.Grimwood has succeeded in creating a bright, bold and inventive world.
Lucifer's Dragon belts along like a dominatrix high on PCP going mad with a cat-of-nine-tails. The prose and the premise are taut and cool. If anything the book's crime is that the characters although strong are little too familiar, and that the plot once established ends up becoming somewhat predictable. It won't change your life, but it does entertain. If you like Richard Morgan, you should like this. I enjoyed it enough to buy another of his books.
