5.0 out of 5 stars I loved it!, December 8, 1997

I loved this book! Need I say more? Well, ok, if you really want me to, I guess I will. This book had brilliant description of surroundings that Aubry was in. And, as and avid martial artist, I loved the extensive descriptions of the hand-to-hand fight scenes and the warrior/fighter philosophy instilled by the teacher character of the story. A great book making the reader seem to be there as Aubry goes from fighter to warrior, in a metamorphosis that the reader hopes will keep Aubry alive until the end. I enjoyed it immensely.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book, but one writing flaw., August 8, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Streetlethal (Paperback)
I thought this book was a wonderful cyberpunk book. It had great action, vivid descriptions of the city and the life of the characters and bystanders. The taste of the cyberpunk genre was very strong and very real. The story and plot were just absolutely impeccable as well as interesting. However, I found one very irritating aspect about the writer's style. Every time Aubry gets into a fight the author becomes rediculously overengrossed in describing the exact methods of how the fight progresses. For a while I tried to envision how these fights were taking place while I was reading them, but the author's descriptions made that tedious and impossible. He overdescribed every hand-to-hand fight scene that took place in that book. If he had made those sections shorter and sweeter, this book might have gotten a "10."

5.0 out of 5 stars best ive ever read, January 7, 2003
By 
This review is from: Streetlethal (Paperback)
i am not what you would call an avid book reader but on a greyhound bus trip that was to take over 24 hours i found this book in the luggage rack. from the 2nd page i was totally engrossed and finished it before i arrived at my destination.
the character aubry knight is an absolute winner. i lost this book and searched for two months until i found a copy. that is when i found the other two aubry knight stories. i have read all 3 books 3 times apiece and have just started them again after 2 years of sitting on the bookshelf. i cannot reccomend them more
if i was sitting there speaking to you all directly. pick them up, you will not put them down. 20 ********************
