This review is from: THE WHISPER OF THE AXE (Mass Market Paperback)
Like Trevanian then and Tom Clancy now, a great author of notable potboilers all too overlooked once aged, not least this one. Can it really be out of print? Amazon itself has no edition for sale as new.
The publisher summary above is nothing but the premise; the action is the gist. This title is no less a classic of cyberpunk than many things by William Gibson, if not quite Bruce Sterling. Not least, it appeals in its prediction of cultural subversion by sabotage from state sponsored terrorists, e.g. sex depersonalization as intentional technique for anonymizing and thereby commodifying the masses persuaded loveless sex is preferable as a privilege of power. Think this isn't real today ? Read the headlines Unhooked: The new culture of casual sex 3.5.07 Laura Sessions Stepp http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/17453367 Who's the bad guy in the real world ? I always prefer to blame the Jews and corporate pandering to the worst in the collective subconcious. In this case, yellow peril still plays persuasively. Put down the TV remote and read this great book; it's a very easy read. |
